  The SAP error message /SCWM/VAS069 indicates that there are existing warehouse tasks associated with a Value-Added Service (VAS) process, and as a result, the system does not allow the deletion of the VAS. This is a common scenario in warehouse management where certain operations are interlinked, and the system enforces data integrity by preventing the deletion of records that are still in use.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Warehouse Tasks: The primary cause of this error is that there are active warehouse tasks linked to the VAS process you are trying to delete. These tasks may be in various statuses (e.g., open, in progress).

  Check Existing Warehouse Tasks:

  Complete or Delete Warehouse Tasks:
  
  If the tasks are still open or in progress, you will need to either complete them or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  Ensure that all tasks are either processed or canceled before attempting to delete the VAS.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once all associated warehouse tasks are handled, try to delete the VAS again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
