• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ026 - &1 &2 was deleted ?

  The SAP error message PQ026 typically indicates that a particular object (like a production order, maintenance order, or similar) has been deleted. The message format usually includes placeholders for specific identifiers, such as &1 and &2, which represent the object type and the object number that has been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the object you are trying to access has been deleted from the system. This could happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Manual deletion by a user.
  Deletion as part of a data cleanup process.
  Deletion due to a business process that no longer requires the object.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: Sometimes, the error can arise from inconsistencies in the database, where the system references an object that has been removed or is no longer valid.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the object, leading to a similar error message.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object (identified by &1 and &2) still exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., CO03 for production orders, IW33 for maintenance orders).
  
  
  Check Deletion Logs: If you have access, check the deletion logs or audit trails to see when and why the object was deleted. This can provide insights into whether it was a manual action or part of a scheduled process.
  
  
  Restore Object: If the object was deleted by mistake and you have a backup or a way to restore it, consider restoring the object to resolve the issue.
  
  
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the deletion, consult with colleagues or your SAP administrator to understand the context of the deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the object. If not, contact your SAP security team to get the required permissions.
  
  
  Error Handling: If the error is part of a larger process, consider implementing error handling in your workflows to manage such situations gracefully.
