This error indicates that you are trying to delete a scale that is currently being referenced or used in other condition records or pricing procedures.
  Cause:
  
  Scale in Use: The scale you are attempting to delete is currently assigned to one or more condition records. This means that the system is preventing the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the scale in various pricing conditions, contracts, or other related documents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage:
  
  Check where the scale is being used. You can do this by navigating to the relevant condition records or pricing procedures that might be referencing the scale.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to view the condition records and see if the scale is linked to any of them.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find that the scale is indeed in use, you will need to either modify or delete the condition records that reference the scale before you can delete the scale itself.
  Make sure to communicate with relevant stakeholders if these condition records are critical to business processes.
  
  
  
  Delete the Scale:
  
  Once all references to the scale have been removed, you can proceed to delete the scale using the appropriate transaction (e.g., V/06 for scales).
