• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01137 - Use Save to remove the deletion marking ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VHU01137: "Use Save to remove the deletion marking":
  
  Error Message:
  VHU01137 - Use Save to remove the deletion marking
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of vehicle management or vehicle master data processing in SAP (often in modules like SAP Vehicle Management System - VMS or SAP IS-AUTO). It indicates that a vehicle or related master data record has been marked for deletion, but the deletion marking has not yet been finalized or removed.
  
  When you mark a vehicle or an object for deletion, the system sets a deletion flag.
  If you try to perform certain operations on this record without saving the changes, the system prompts you to save first to confirm the removal of the deletion marking.
  Essentially, the system requires you to explicitly save the record after you remove the deletion flag to update the database accordingly.
  
  
  What triggers this message?
  
  You have removed the deletion mark from a vehicle or object but have not saved the changes.
  You attempt to perform an action that requires the deletion mark to be either confirmed or removed and saved.
  The system detects that the deletion mark status is inconsistent with the current operation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Remove the deletion marking:
  
  In the vehicle master or relevant transaction, clear the deletion flag or mark the record as active again.
  
  
  
  Save the record:
  
  After removing the deletion mark, use the Save button or press Ctrl+S to save the changes.
  This action updates the database and removes the deletion flag officially.
  
  
  
  Retry the operation:
  
  Once saved, you can proceed with the intended operation without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a safeguard to prevent inconsistent data states where a record is partially marked for deletion but still used in transactions.
  Always ensure that after changing deletion flags, you save the record immediately.
  If you are working in a batch or programmatic environment (e.g., BAPIs or custom programs), ensure that the deletion flag changes are committed properly.
  In some cases, the deletion flag might be set at different levels (e.g., vehicle, equipment, or related objects), so verify all related objects if the message persists.
