  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/GNT_CUST041 indicates that there is an issue with the color scheme for activities in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error states that the color scheme identified by &1 cannot be deleted because it is still being used in a layout identified by &2.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete a color scheme that is currently in use by one or more layouts. In SAP TMS, color schemes are often used to visually differentiate activities or statuses in various layouts.

  Identify the Layouts Using the Color Scheme:

  Once you have identified the layout(s) that are using the color scheme, you need to edit the layout configuration and remove the reference to the color scheme &1.
  
  
  
  Delete the Color Scheme:
  
  After removing the color scheme from all layouts, you should be able to delete the color scheme without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
