  The SAP error message UGMD8055 indicates that a specific object (such as a material, vendor, or customer) has been flagged for deletion in the system. This typically means that the object is no longer active or should not be used in transactions. The message format usually includes placeholders like &1 and &2, which represent the specific object type and identifier (e.g., material number, vendor number).
  Cause:
  
  
  Flagged for Deletion: The object has been marked as "flagged for deletion" in the system. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
  
  The object is no longer needed for business processes.
  The object has been replaced or is obsolete.

  Look for a deletion flag in the relevant views.
  
  
  
  Remove the Deletion Flag:
  
  If the object should not be flagged for deletion, you can remove the deletion flag. This can typically be done in the same transaction where you checked the flag:

  For vendors, use XK02 to modify the vendor data.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users: Before removing the deletion flag, consult with relevant business users or stakeholders to ensure that the object is indeed still needed.
