• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SS201 - Object was deleted ?

  The SAP error message SS201, which states "Object was deleted," typically occurs when you attempt to access or manipulate an object (such as a report, program, or configuration) that has been deleted from the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, run a report, or access a configuration setting.
  Causes:
  
  Object Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the object you are trying to access has been deleted from the SAP system.
  Transport Issues: If the object was part of a transport request that was not properly imported or was rolled back, it may no longer exist in the target system.
  Development Environment Changes: Changes made in the development environment that were not properly transported to the production environment can lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the object may exist, but the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access it, leading to confusion about its existence.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object still exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., SE80 for objects, SE11 for database tables, etc.).
  Transport Management: If the object was deleted due to transport issues, check the transport logs and ensure that all necessary transports have been correctly imported.
  Recreate the Object: If the object was deleted and is essential for your operations, you may need to recreate it. This could involve re-developing a report, reconfiguring a setting, or restoring it from a backup if available.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can do this by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator, as they can provide insights into system logs and transport issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE37 (Function Builder) to investigate the object.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message SS201. SAP's support portal can provide additional insights.
  System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide more context about the deletion.
  Backup and Recovery: If the object is critical, ensure that you have a backup and recovery plan in place to restore deleted objects when necessary.
