• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDRPLI018 - Object & is already deleted ?

  The SAP error message SDRPLI018 indicates that an object you are trying to access or manipulate has already been deleted. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's logistics and sales and distribution modules, where objects such as sales orders, delivery documents, or other related entities may be involved.
  Cause:
  
  Object Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the object (e.g., a sales order, delivery, or material) has been deleted from the system, either manually or through a batch job.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database, where the application layer is not in sync with the database state.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The application may be trying to reference an object that was never created or has been deleted in a previous transaction.
  User Permissions: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary permissions to view or manipulate the object, leading to confusion about its existence.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object you are trying to access still exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., VA03 for sales orders, VL03N for deliveries).
  Check Deletion Flags: If the object is supposed to exist, check if it has been flagged for deletion. This can be done through the relevant transaction or by checking the database directly.
  Recreate the Object: If the object has been deleted and you need it, you may need to recreate it based on the business requirements.
  Review Logs: Check system logs or change logs to see if there were any recent deletions or changes made to the object.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you suspect a data consistency issue, consult with your SAP Basis team to perform a consistency check or restore the object if possible.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the object. If not, the user may need to be granted the appropriate roles or permissions.
