  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag: The material has been marked for deletion in the material master record. This is typically done when a material is no longer needed or is being phased out.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number and plant.
