This error can arise due to several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Dependencies: The record you are trying to delete may be linked to other data records or transactions. For example, if the layout is being used in a current transaction or is linked to other master data, it cannot be deleted.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the record. This can be due to role restrictions or missing permissions.
