• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AB454 - Asset & & has already been marked for deletion in the worklist ?

  The SAP error message AB454 indicates that an asset has already been marked for deletion in the worklist. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on an asset that has been flagged for deletion, which means it is no longer active in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Marked for Deletion: The asset in question has been marked for deletion in the asset accounting module. This could be due to a business decision to retire the asset or because it is no longer in use.
  Pending Deletion: The asset may be in a pending deletion state, meaning it has been flagged but not yet fully processed for deletion.
  Multiple Users: Another user may have marked the asset for deletion while you are trying to perform an operation on it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset in the asset accounting module. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record and checking if it is indeed marked for deletion.
  Unmark for Deletion: If the asset should not be deleted, you can unmark it for deletion. This can typically be done through the transaction code AS02 (Change Asset Master Record) by removing the deletion flag.
  Consult with Team: If you are unsure why the asset was marked for deletion, consult with your finance or asset management team to understand the business rationale.
  Review Worklist: Check the worklist for any pending actions related to the asset. If the asset is in a worklist for deletion, you may need to process that worklist item before proceeding with other operations.
  Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes such as AS03 (Display Asset Master Record) to view the asset details and confirm its status.
