• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP094 - Deletion flag is set at distribution chain level ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP094 indicates that a deletion flag has been set at the distribution chain level for a material in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This typically means that the material is marked for deletion in one or more distribution channels, which prevents further processing or changes to that material in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag Set: The primary cause of this error is that the material has been flagged for deletion in the relevant distribution chain. This can happen if the material is no longer needed in that specific distribution channel.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data where the deletion flag is not properly handled or updated in the system.
  Master Data Governance Workflow: The workflow or approval process in MDG may have flagged the material for deletion as part of its governance rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Deletion Flag:
  
  Navigate to the material master data in the relevant transaction (e.g., MM03 for display).
  Check the distribution chain data to see if the deletion flag is set.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:
  
  If the deletion flag is set and you want to keep the material, you can remove the deletion flag:
  
  Go to the material master data transaction (e.g., MM02 for change).
  Select the relevant views (e.g., Sales Organization Data) and uncheck the deletion flag for the distribution chain.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review MDG Workflow:
  
  If the deletion flag was set as part of an MDG workflow, review the workflow status and ensure that the necessary approvals are in place to either keep or delete the material.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  Discuss with relevant business users or stakeholders to confirm whether the material should indeed be deleted or if it is still required.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a data consistency check to ensure that there are no other issues affecting the material master data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
