• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0M238 - &1 objects were deleted from display ?

  The SAP error message "0M238 &1 objects were deleted from display" typically indicates that certain objects (like materials, vendors, or other master data) have been deleted from the system and are no longer available for display in the transaction you are using. This message is often encountered in various SAP modules, particularly in Material Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD).
  Cause:
  
  Data Deletion: The most common cause is that the objects you are trying to access have been deleted from the database. This could be due to a data cleanup process, archiving, or manual deletion by a user with the appropriate permissions.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain objects, leading to the perception that they have been deleted.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data model that prevent certain objects from being displayed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify if the objects in question have indeed been deleted. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (like MM03 for materials, XK03 for vendors, etc.) to see if the objects exist.
  Review Deletion Logs: If you have access, check the deletion logs or audit trails to see if the objects were deleted and by whom. This can help in understanding the context of the deletion.
  Restore Deleted Objects: If the deletion was accidental and you have a backup or an archiving solution in place, you may be able to restore the deleted objects.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to view the objects. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your authorizations.
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate further.
