  The SAP error message PPER3E_CMPID011 indicates that a specific material (denoted by &1) has been marked for deletion and therefore cannot be used in the context of the operation you are trying to perform (denoted by &2). This error typically arises in scenarios where the material is being referenced in transactions such as sales orders, purchase orders, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Material Marked for Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the material has been flagged as "marked for deletion" in the material master data. This means that the material is no longer intended for use in transactions.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).

  Navigate to the relevant views and uncheck the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If the material is marked for deletion for a reason (e.g., it is obsolete), consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., product management, inventory control) to determine if it should be reactivated or if a new material should be created.
  
  
  
  Create a New Material:
  
  If the material is obsolete and should not be used, consider creating a new material to replace it for future transactions.
