  SAP Message W4213: "&: & export control data deleted"
  
  1. Cause
  The message W4213 typically appears when export control data related to a material or document has been deleted or is missing. Export control data in SAP is used to manage and comply with legal regulations regarding the export of goods, such as embargoes, export licenses, and customs regulations.
  This warning indicates that the system expected export control data for a particular object (e.g., material, vendor, customer, or document), but this data has been deleted or is no longer available.
  Common causes include:
  
  Manual deletion of export control data records.
  Data inconsistencies due to incomplete master data maintenance.
  Changes in export control settings or master data.
  Transport or system copy issues where export control data was not properly migrated.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve or handle this warning, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Export Control Data:
  
  Verify if the export control data for the relevant material or document exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) and navigate to the Export Control tab to check or maintain export control data.
  For customers or vendors, check export control data in their master records.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Maintain Export Control Data:
  
  If the data was deleted unintentionally, re-enter the required export control information.
  Ensure that all mandatory fields related to export control are properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Check the export control customizing in SPRO under Logistics Execution ? Foreign Trade/Customs ? Export Control.
  Ensure that the system settings align with your company’s export control policies.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, users without proper authorization might delete or fail to maintain export control data.
  Verify user roles and authorizations related to export control data maintenance.
  
  
  
  Ignore if Appropriate:
  
  Since W4213 is a warning (not an error), if the export control data is not relevant for your business process or country, you may choose to ignore it.
  However, ensure this complies with your legal and compliance requirements.
