  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Product Status:
  
  Navigate to the product master data in SAP and check the status of the product. You can do this using transaction codes like CRMD_ORDER or MM03 (for material master).
  Look for any indicators or flags that show the product is marked for deletion.

  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the product status, contact your SAP administrator or the relevant team responsible for product data management. They can assist in unmarking the product or provide guidance on the appropriate steps.
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes:
  
  If the product is marked for deletion due to business processes (e.g., end of life for a product), consider whether it is appropriate to unmark it. You may need to review the implications of reactivating the product in your business processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to product master data management for more details on handling deletion flags.
