  Error Message
  WA627: Instance linkages to task & cannot be deleted
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete a task in SAP Workflow that still has active instance linkages associated with it. In SAP Workflow, tasks can be linked to workflow instances, and these linkages represent the relationship between the task and the workflow instance.
  
  The system prevents deletion of a task if there are still active or existing instance linkages to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Essentially, the task is still in use or referenced by one or more workflow instances, so deleting it would break the workflow logic.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Instance linkages are references that connect a task to a specific workflow instance.
  When a workflow instance is running or has not been properly completed/closed, the tasks linked to it cannot be deleted.
  This safeguard prevents accidental deletion
