  Liquidate or Transfer Positions: If you want to delete the securities account, you will need to either:
  
  Liquidate the positions (sell the securities).
  Transfer the positions to another securities account.
  
  
  
  Clear Open Transactions: Ensure that there are no open transactions related to the positions in the account. This includes any pending trades or settlements.
  
  
  Delete or Archive Positions: If applicable, you may need to delete or archive the positions if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  Retry Deletion: Once all positions have been cleared from the account, you can attempt to delete the securities account again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP for managing securities accounts, such as:
