• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P0140 - The marked object (field/block) was deleted ?

  The SAP error message P0140, which states "The marked object (field/block) was deleted," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or manipulate a field or block in a screen or program that has been deleted or is no longer available in the current context. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in the underlying data model, modifications to the screen layout, or updates to the program logic.
  Causes:
  
  Screen Changes: The screen layout may have been modified, and the field or block that the user is trying to access has been removed.
  Program Modifications: Changes in the ABAP program or module pool that affect the availability of certain fields or blocks.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies in the objects.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain fields or blocks, leading to the perception that they have been deleted.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Screen Layout: Verify the screen layout in the screen painter (SE80 or SE41) to ensure that the field or block is still present and correctly configured.
  Review Program Logic: Check the ABAP code for any recent changes that might have affected the availability of the field or block. Look for any conditional logic that might hide or disable the field.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all necessary transports have been applied correctly and that there are no missing objects in the target system.
  User Authorizations: Confirm that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access the field or block. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with the security team.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program to trace the execution flow and identify where the error occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator), SE41 (Menu Painter), or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to investigate the objects involved.
