  Locked Item: The schedule line you are trying to delete is associated with a locked item. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The item is currently being processed by another user or transaction.
  The item is part of a document that is in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it is being used in a delivery or invoice).
  There are open commitments or stock movements related to the schedule line.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent the deletion of certain schedule lines under specific conditions.
  
  
  Data Integrity: The system may be enforcing data integrity rules that prevent the deletion of schedule lines that are critical to the overall procurement process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
