  The SAP error message OPS_SE_EAM172 indicates that the deletion flag for an individual material (identified by &1) has been reset successfully. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the deletion flag has been removed from the specified material.
  Cause:
  The deletion flag is typically set on materials to indicate that they should not be used in transactions or should be removed from the system. The message indicates that this flag has been reset, meaning the material is now active and can be used again in transactions.
  Solution:
  If you see this message and it is not causing any issues, you may not need to take any action. However, if you intended to keep the deletion flag set (i.e., you wanted the material to remain inactive), you may need to:
  
  
  Re-set the Deletion Flag: You can manually set the deletion flag again for the material if it was reset unintentionally. This can typically be done in the material master data maintenance transaction (e.g., MM02).
  
  
  Check for Processes: Ensure that there are no ongoing processes or transactions that might have caused the deletion flag to be reset. This could include batch jobs, data migrations, or other automated processes.
  
  
  Review User Actions: If multiple users have access to modify material data, check if someone else might have reset the flag.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand why the deletion flag was reset.
  
  
  Related Information:
