  The SAP error message FDT_CORE311 indicates that an object (such as a field, data element, or other configuration item) cannot be imported because it is marked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or similar data management processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to import an object that has been flagged for deletion in the system. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The object was intentionally marked for deletion by a user or during a transport process.
  There may be inconsistencies in the transport request or the object status in the source and target systems.
  The object might have been deleted in the source system but not properly reflected in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE311 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module) to check the status of the object in question.
  Verify if the object is indeed marked for deletion.

  Transport Request:
  
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the object is not included in the deletion list.
  You may need to re-import the transport request or adjust it to exclude the deleted object.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the object that might be causing the import to fail. If other objects depend on it, you may need to address those dependencies first.
