  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABO_API_MESSAGE001 - Object is a deleted item ?

    The SAP error message /PM0/ABO_API_MESSAGE001 Object is a deleted item typically indicates that an operation is being attempted on an object (such as a maintenance order, notification, or other relevant entity) that has been marked as deleted in the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access, modify, or delete an object that no longer exists in an active state.

    Causes:

    1. Deleted Object: The object you are trying to access has been deleted from the database.
    2. Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database where the object is referenced but not available.
    3. Incorrect Object Reference: The operation may be referencing an incorrect or outdated object ID.
    4. User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to view or interact with the object, leading to confusion about its status.

    Solutions:

    1. Verify Object Status: Check the status of the object in the system to confirm whether it has indeed been deleted. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., IW33 for maintenance orders).
    2. Check for References: If the object is referenced in other transactions or processes, ensure that those references are updated or removed.
    3. Restore Object: If the object was deleted by mistake and needs to be restored, consult with your SAP administrator or support team to see if it can be recovered.
    4. Update References: If you are working with a program or custom development, ensure that the code is not trying to access deleted objects. Implement checks to handle such cases gracefully.
    5. User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to access the object. If necessary, consult with your security team to adjust roles and authorizations.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for the object type you are dealing with (e.g., IW31/IW32 for maintenance orders, IW21 for notifications).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions.
    • System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages or context that may help diagnose the issue.
