  The SAP error message "60617 Selected object is flagged for deletion. Check entry" typically indicates that the object you are trying to access or modify has been marked for deletion in the system. 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, or other master data) has been marked with a deletion flag, which prevents it from being used in transactions.
  Data Integrity: The system enforces data integrity by preventing operations on objects that are flagged for deletion to avoid inconsistencies.
  User Error: The user may have inadvertently selected an object that is no longer valid or has been flagged for deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Object Status:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or master data screen where the error occurred.
  Check the status of the object to confirm if it is indeed flagged for deletion.
  
  
  
  Remove the Deletion Flag:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can remove the deletion flag from the object. This is typically done in the master data maintenance transaction (e.g., MM02 for materials, XK02 for vendors).
  For example, in the case of a material, you would:
  
  Go to transaction MM02.
  Enter the material number and select the appropriate views.
  In the "General Data" or "Sales Org Data" view, check the "Deletion Flag" checkbox and uncheck it if it is selected.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
