  The SAP error message M7144 indicates that a specific batch of a material is flagged for deletion. This typically means that the batch is no longer available for use in transactions, and any attempts to process it will result in this error message.
  Cause:
  
  
  Batch Flagged for Deletion: The batch in question has been marked for deletion in the system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The batch is obsolete or no longer needed.
  The batch has been manually flagged for deletion by a user.
  The material itself has been flagged for deletion.
  
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that prevent the use of certain batches.

  To resolve the M7144 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Batch Status:

  Check Material Master:

  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the batch status, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for material management. They can assist in unflagging the batch or provide further insights.
