  The SAP error message PPEDI_CMPID011 indicates that a material has a deletion indicator set, which means that the material is marked for deletion and cannot be used in the specified context (e.g., in production planning, inventory management, etc.). This error typically arises when trying to perform operations involving the material that is no longer valid due to its deletion status.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Indicator Set: The material in question has been marked for deletion in the material master record. This is often done when a material is no longer needed or is being phased out.
  Usage Context: The operation you are trying to perform (e.g., creating a production order, planning, etc.) requires the material to be active and available, but the deletion indicator prevents this.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Enter the material number and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, MRP, etc.) to confirm if the deletion indicator is set.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Indicator:
  
  If the material is still needed, you can remove the deletion indicator:
  
  Go to transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number and select the relevant views.
  In the Basic Data view, uncheck the deletion indicator.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the material is marked for deletion due to business decisions, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., production, inventory management) to confirm whether the material should be reactivated or if it should remain deleted.
  
  
  Alternative Actions: If the material is indeed obsolete and should not be used, consider using alternative materials or adjusting your planning processes accordingly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Views: Familiarize yourself with the different views in the material master, as the deletion indicator can be set in various contexts (e.g., purchasing, sales, etc.).
  Impact of Deletion Indicator: Understand the implications of marking a material for deletion, as it affects not only production planning but also inventory management and procurement processes.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on managing material master records and the implications of deletion indicators.
