  Check Assignments: Review the assignments of the resource. Ensure that it is not currently assigned to any active transportation processes. You can do this by checking the relevant transactions or reports in SAP TM.
  Remove Dependencies: If the resource is linked to other objects, you will need to remove those links or reassign them to another resource before attempting to delete.
  Change Status: If the resource is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to a more appropriate one that allows for deletion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for specific instructions on managing resources in SAP TM.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCMTMS/RESOURCES) to manage resources and check their status and assignments.
