  The SAP error message 60183, which states "Application & flagged for deletion," typically indicates that a particular application or object within the SAP system has been marked for deletion. This can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with master data, transactional data, or configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Flagged for Deletion: The object (e.g., a material, vendor, customer, etc.) has been marked with a deletion flag, which means it is no longer active or should not be used in transactions.
  Data Integrity: The system enforces data integrity by preventing the use of objects that are flagged for deletion to avoid inconsistencies in reporting and processing.
  User Action: A user or process may have intentionally flagged the object for deletion, either through a transaction or a batch job.

  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., MM02 for materials, XK02 for vendors) and check if the deletion flag is set.

  Reactivation:
  
  For materials: Use transaction code MM02, select the relevant views, and uncheck the "Flag for Deletion" option.

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure why the object was flagged for deletion, consult your organization's data governance policies or documentation to understand the implications of reactivating the object.
