  The SAP error message EM136, which states "The entries you selected were deleted from the KSM," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost center accounting or internal orders. This message indicates that the entries you are trying to access or manipulate have been deleted from the system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Deletion: The most common cause of this error is that the entries you are trying to work with have been deleted from the KSM (Cost Center Accounting) database. This could happen due to data maintenance activities, such as archiving or manual deletion by users with the appropriate permissions.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database, possibly due to incomplete transactions or errors during data processing.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate certain entries, leading to confusion about whether the entries exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Integrity: Verify if the entries you are trying to access still exist in the database. You can do this by running reports or queries in the relevant modules (e.g., KSB1 for cost centers).
  Review Deletion Logs: If you have access, check the deletion logs or audit trails to see if the entries were deleted and by whom. This can help in understanding the context of the deletion.
  Restore Deleted Entries: If the entries were deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore them from a backup or re-enter the data if possible.
  Consult with IT or SAP Basis Team: If you suspect a system issue or data inconsistency, it may be necessary to involve your IT department or SAP Basis team to investigate further.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data you are trying to work with. If not, contact your system administrator to request the appropriate permissions.
