• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP099 - Deletion flag is set at MRP area level ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_MAT_SP099 indicates that a deletion flag has been set at the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) area level for a material. This typically means that the material is marked for deletion in the specific MRP area, which prevents certain operations from being performed on it, such as creating or updating records.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag Set: The primary cause of this error is that the material has been flagged for deletion in the MRP area. This can happen if the material is no longer needed or if it is being phased out.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that lead to the deletion flag being set unintentionally.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the MRP area settings or material master data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check MRP Area Settings:
  
  Navigate to the MRP area settings for the material in question.
  Check if the deletion flag is indeed set. You can do this by going to the material master data (transaction code MM03) and reviewing the MRP area data.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:

  Go to the relevant MRP area and uncheck the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Review Material Status:
  
  Ensure that the material status is appropriate for the operations you want to perform. If the material is obsolete, consider whether it should be deleted or if it needs to be reactivated.
