  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE059 indicates that you are trying to delete slots of a loading point, but there are existing appointments that prevent this action. This is a common issue in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there are dependencies between loading points and appointments.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  Once you have addressed the existing appointments, try to delete the slots again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If you are unsure about the appointments, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., warehouse managers, logistics coordinators) to ensure that you are not disrupting any planned activities.
