  VHU01044 &1 &2 could not be marked for deletion
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Vehicle Management System (VMS) or Vehicle Handling Unit (VHU) module when an attempt is made to mark a vehicle or vehicle-related object (like a vehicle record, vehicle unit, or vehicle handling unit) for deletion, but the system cannot complete the operation.
  Common causes include:
  
  The vehicle or object is currently referenced or linked to other active documents or processes (e.g., sales orders, service orders, contracts).
  The vehicle or object is in a status that does not allow deletion or marking for deletion.
  There are open dependencies or incomplete transactions related to the vehicle.
  Authorization issues or system inconsistencies.
  
  The placeholders &1 and &2 typically represent the object type and object ID or number that could not be marked for deletion.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You try to delete or mark a vehicle record for deletion in the SAP VHU module.
  The system checks for dependencies or status.
  If dependencies exist or status is not suitable, the system throws this error.

  Check Dependencies:
  
  Verify if the vehicle or object is linked to any open documents such as:
  
  Sales orders
  Service orders
  Contracts
  Leasing agreements
  Insurance policies
  
  
  Use transaction codes like VHU01, VHU02, or related vehicle master data transactions to check the status and linked documents.
  
  
  
  Check Status:
  
  Ensure the vehicle or object is in a status that allows deletion.
  For example, a vehicle that is already sold or leased may not be deletable.
  Change the status if possible or close related documents.
  
  
  
  Close or Delete Dependent Documents:
  
  Close or delete any open documents or transactions linked to the vehicle.
  After clearing dependencies, try marking for deletion again.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to delete or mark the vehicle for deletion.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Reports or Tools:
  
  Use SAP standard reports or tools to identify dependencies.
  For example, use VHU03 to display vehicle data and check linked documents.
