  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Deletion Flag:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (for materials) or XD03 (for customers) to check the status of the master data.

  Consult with IT or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your IT department or SAP support team for assistance in recovering or managing the master data.
