  Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies on Active Condition Records: The condition record you are trying to deactivate may have dependencies on other active condition records. If there are active records that rely on the one you are trying to deactivate, the system will prevent the deactivation.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the condition record that is preventing the deactivation process from completing.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to deactivate the price may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the pricing procedure or condition types that are causing the deactivation to fail.
  
  
  Locked Records: The condition record may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.

  Check Dependencies: Review the condition records that are dependent on the one you are trying to deactivate. Ensure that all dependent records are either deactivated or modified accordingly.
