  The SAP error message /IBS/RB264 Deletion flag set for &1 &2 typically indicates that a deletion flag has been set for a specific object in the system, which prevents further processing or actions on that object. The placeholders &1 and &2 usually represent the specific object type and its identifier (like a material number, document number, etc.).
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag Set: The most common cause of this error is that the object you are trying to process has been marked for deletion. This could happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Manual deletion flagging by a user.
  A process that automatically sets the deletion flag based on certain criteria (e.g., archiving processes).
  Data inconsistencies or errors during data migration or updates.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Deletion Flag: Verify if the deletion flag is indeed set for the object in question. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction or table where the object is stored.
  Checking the status or attributes of the object to see if the deletion flag is active.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag: If you determine that the deletion flag should not be set, you can remove it. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the relevant transaction (e.g., for materials, you might use MM02 to change material data).
  Locating the deletion flag field and unchecking it.
  Saving the changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of removing the deletion flag, consult your organization's documentation or SAP notes related to the specific object type.
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the object. If not, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Check Related Processes: If the deletion flag was set as part of a process (like archiving), review that process to understand why the flag was set and whether it should be reversed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the object type, you may use different transaction codes to check or modify the deletion flag (e.g., MM02 for materials, VA02 for sales orders).
