• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE124 - An invalid object &1 is used: Object is marked for deletion ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE124 indicates that an object you are trying to use is marked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework, where certain objects (like data elements, structures, or other components) may be flagged as deleted but are still being referenced in your operations.
  Cause:
  
  Object Marked for Deletion: The object you are trying to access or manipulate has been marked for deletion in the system. This could happen if the object was intentionally deleted or if it was part of a development or transport process that included deletion.
  Reference to Deleted Object: Your program or configuration is attempting to reference an object that is no longer valid because it has been marked for deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (like SE11 for data elements, SE80 for objects, etc.) and checking if the object is indeed marked for deletion.
  Restore or Remove References:
  
  If the object is still needed, you may need to restore it from a backup or re-create it.
  If the object is not needed, you should remove any references to it in your code or configuration.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the object was deleted as part of a transport request, ensure that the transport has been correctly imported into the target system and that all dependencies are intact.
  Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, other objects may depend on the deleted object. Ensure that all dependencies are resolved.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific object or the FDT framework to understand the implications of the deletion.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Modules) to investigate the object.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the FDT framework or the specific object type you are dealing with.
  System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for additional context or errors that may provide more insight into the issue.
  Development Guidelines: Follow best practices for object management in SAP to avoid unintentional deletions and ensure proper version control.
