  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_CORE_UI030 Formula &1 is still used in other formulas; unable to deactivate typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you attempt to deactivate a formula that is still being referenced by other formulas. This is a common issue when managing formulas in the system, as dependencies between formulas can prevent deactivation.
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The formula you are trying to deactivate is still being used in other formulas. SAP does not allow the deactivation of a formula that is actively referenced to maintain data integrity.
  Active References: There may be active references in various configurations or processes that rely on the formula you are attempting to deactivate.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which formulas or configurations are using the formula you want to deactivate. You can do this by reviewing the formula dependencies in the SAP EWM system.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/LM_FORMULA to view the formulas and their relationships.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  Once you identify the dependent formulas, you will need to either modify or deactivate those formulas first before you can deactivate the original formula.
  Ensure that any processes or configurations that rely on the formula are updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Formula:
  
  After removing all references, you can attempt to deactivate the formula again.
  Use the appropriate transaction code to deactivate the formula.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After deactivation, test the system to ensure that everything is functioning as expected and that there are no broken references.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
