  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DFE030 - The logistics data (MARC) for material &1 is selected for deletion ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    W_DFE030 The logistics data (MARC) for material &1 is selected for deletion


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message indicates that the logistics data for the material (stored in table MARC) is marked for deletion. In SAP, when a material is flagged for deletion in a particular plant, the system sets a deletion indicator in the MARC table for that plant-specific data.

    • MARC is the plant data for the material.
    • The deletion indicator means that the material is scheduled to be deleted or is logically deleted for that plant.
    • This can happen if someone has flagged the material for deletion in the material master (transaction MM02 or MM06).
    • The system warns you that the material logistics data is marked for deletion, so certain transactions or processes might be restricted or affected.

    When does this message appear?

    • When you try to use or process a material whose plant-specific data is flagged for deletion.
    • For example, during goods movement, production order creation, or sales order processing.
    • Or when you try to change or display the material master data.

    Solution / How to resolve:

    1. Check the deletion flag:

      • Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material Master).
      • Enter the material number and plant.
      • Navigate to the Plant Data / Storage 1 view.
      • Check if the Deletion flag is set for the plant.
    2. Remove the deletion flag if necessary:

      • If the material should not be deleted, remove the deletion flag.
      • Use transaction MM02 (Change Material Master).
      • Go to the same view and uncheck the deletion indicator.
      • Save the changes.
    3. If the deletion is intended:

      • Confirm that the material is no longer needed in that plant.
      • Avoid using the material in transactions for that plant.
      • If you need to reactivate the material, remove the deletion flag as above.
    4. Check for dependent data:

      • Sometimes, deletion flags are set because the material is obsolete or replaced.
      • Verify if there are open transactions or dependencies that prevent deletion.

    Additional Information:

    • The deletion indicator in MARC is plant-specific. A material can be deleted in one plant but active in another.
    • Deletion flags do not physically delete the data but mark it for logical deletion.
    • Physical deletion of material master data requires additional steps and authorizations.
    • This warning helps prevent accidental use of materials that are planned to be removed from the system.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W_DFE030 The logistics data (MARC) for material &1 is selected for deletion
    Cause Material plant data is flagged for deletion in MARC table.
    Effect Material cannot be used in transactions for that plant.
    Solution Remove deletion flag in MM02 if material is still needed; otherwise, avoid using the material.
    Transaction MM02 (Change), MM03 (Display) for material master maintenance.
