  The SAP error message RECAAR065 indicates that there was an attempt to delete an object (such as a contract, asset, or other records) in the SAP system, but the deletion indicator was not set for the specified number of objects. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or Real Estate Management (RE).
  Cause:

  Set the deletion indicator (usually a checkbox or field in the object’s master data).
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Retry the Deletion: After setting the deletion indicator, attempt to delete the object(s) again using the appropriate transaction.
