This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding an appropriate solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Dependencies on Other Processes: The planned HUs may be linked to other processes, such as open deliveries, stock transfers, or other logistics processes that prevent their deletion.

  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies or errors in the database that prevent the deletion of the planned HUs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review any open processes related to the planned HUs. Ensure that there are no active deliveries or other transactions that depend on the HUs you are trying to delete.
  Verify Status: Check the status of the handling units. If they are in a status that does not allow deletion, you may need to change their status or complete the related processes before attempting to delete them.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the planned HUs has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  Review Configuration: Check the EWM configuration settings to see if there are any restrictions on deleting planned HUs. Adjust the settings if necessary, but ensure that any changes align with your business processes.
