  Text:
  PO item & & has a deletion indicator (no changes possible)
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to make changes to a Purchase Order (PO) item that has been marked with a deletion indicator. In SAP, a deletion indicator on a PO item means that the item is flagged for deletion and is no longer active for processing or changes. The system prevents any modifications to such items to maintain data consistency and avoid processing errors.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The deletion indicator is typically set when a PO item is no longer needed or has been canceled.
  Once set, the system treats the item as logically deleted, although it remains in the database for historical or audit purposes.
  Attempting to change quantity, price, delivery dates, or other details on such an item triggers this warning.
