  Error Message
  VFRR058: Deactivation not allowed due to upward compatibility
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to deactivate a version or a change pointer in the SAP system, but the system prevents this action because the version or object is still required for upward compatibility.
  Upward compatibility means that the system or other dependent objects/processes rely on the current version or change pointer to maintain consistency and compatibility with newer versions or processes. Deactivating it would break this compatibility, so SAP blocks the deactivation.
  In the context of SAP Variant Configuration or Change and Transport System (CTS), this often happens when:
  
  A version is still referenced by other objects or processes.
  There are dependent versions or configurations that require the current version to remain active.
  The system detects that deactivating the version would cause inconsistencies or errors in related processes.
