Hello Moosa,
When you want to close an order, the system checks for dependanting data
to alert you that there are open items that have not been received, etc.
You need to close the purchase orders and requisitions so that the  order is no longer "expecting" postings from these dependant objects.
Please consider running the following reports which have been known to correct inconsistencies in commitments:
Report RKANBU01 resets commitments on orders and ranges of orders.
(See note 100409) (Note 125266)
Reports ZKAOIDE0 & ZKAOIDE1 removes commitments which refer to purchase orders and purchase requistions which do not exist.
(See ANote 100409)
Report RKACOR04 corrects mistakes between total and line items in
database tables. (See Note 113423)
I would recommend implementing these programs in a test system first.
You may also want to consider Notes 152571 & 157369 if you are receiving error messages KO447 and/or KO448 when attempting to delete/close the order.
Best Regards,
