  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB049 Check group &1 is not permitted as it is still in use
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to delete or change a Check Group in SAP, but the system detects that the check group is still assigned or used in some master data or transactional data. The check group is linked to checks or payment documents, and because it is still referenced somewhere, SAP prevents you from deleting or modifying it to avoid inconsistencies.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  The check group is assigned to one or more bank accounts in the system.  
  The check group is used in payment program configurations.  
  The check group is linked to existing checks or payment documents.  
  The check group is assigned in vendor or customer master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this warning, you need to ensure that the check group is no longer in use before deleting or modifying it.
  Steps to resolve:
  
  
  Identify where the check group is used:  
  
  Check bank master data (transaction FI12 or relevant bank account maintenance transactions) to see if the check group is assigned.  
  Check payment program configuration (transaction FBZP) for the check group assignment.  
  Check vendor/customer master data for any references.  
  Check if there are any open or cleared checks linked to this check group.
  
  
  
  Remove or change the assignment:  
  
  If the check group is assigned to bank accounts, change or remove the assignment.  
  If it is assigned in payment program customizing, adjust the configuration accordingly.  
  If it is linked to master data, update the master data to use a different check group.
  
  
  
  Ensure no open transactions or documents are linked:  
  
  Clear or close any open checks or payment documents linked to the check group.
  
  
  
  After all references are removed, retry the deletion or modification.
