• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS107 - The equipment is flagged for deletion. Only possible to display. ?

  The SAP error message IS107 indicates that the equipment you are trying to access has been flagged for deletion. This means that the equipment is no longer active in the system and can only be displayed, not modified or used in transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Flagged for Deletion: The equipment has been marked for deletion in the system, which is typically done when the equipment is no longer in use or has been retired.
  Data Integrity: The system prevents any changes to ensure data integrity and to avoid issues with historical data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Equipment Status: Verify the status of the equipment in the system. You can do this by navigating to the equipment master data and checking the deletion flag.
  Unflag the Equipment: If the equipment needs to be reactivated, you can remove the deletion flag. This typically requires the following steps:
  
  Go to the equipment master record (transaction code IE02).
  Enter the equipment number.
  In the "Status" tab, look for the deletion flag and remove it.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about unflagging the equipment, consult with your supervisor or the team responsible for equipment management to ensure that it is appropriate to reactivate the equipment.
  Review Business Processes: If equipment is frequently flagged for deletion, it may be worth reviewing the business processes to understand why this is happening and if there are improvements that can be made.
