This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions or logistics processes where certain documents are interlinked.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete a business plan that is still linked to an active payment order or debit memo notification. This linkage prevents the deletion because the system enforces data integrity and ensures that related documents are not inadvertently removed.
  Solution:

  Consult with Stakeholders: If the payment order or debit memo notification is still required, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., finance team) to determine the best course of action. They may need to adjust the business plan or the linked documents accordingly.
  
  
  Check for Open Items: Ensure that there are no open items or pending transactions that are preventing the deletion of the business plan.
