  Check Dependencies: Ensure that the deleted objects do not have dependencies that could affect other parts of the system.
  Restore Objects: If the deletion was unintended, you may need to restore the objects from a backup or re-create them if possible.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version you are using to understand the implications of the deletions.
