  SAP Error Message:
  WPSOR009
  
  Text: Task list &1: deletion flag set for resulting work center &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message indicates that the task list you are trying to use or process references a work center (&2) that has been flagged for deletion in the system. The task list (&1) cannot be processed because the associated work center is no longer valid or active.
  In SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or Production Planning (PP), work centers are essential for scheduling and executing operations. If a work center is marked for deletion, it means it is planned to be removed and should not be used in active task lists or routings.
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The work center (&2) linked to the task list (&1) has a deletion flag set.
  The deletion flag is usually set when the work center is no longer in use or is being phased out.
  The system prevents further processing of task lists that reference such work centers to avoid inconsistencies or errors in production or maintenance planning.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Work Center Status:
  
  Go to transaction CR03 (Display Work Center) or CR02 (Change Work Center).
  Enter the work center number (&2) and check if the deletion flag is set.
  
  
  
  Remove the Deletion Flag (if appropriate):
  
  If the work center is still valid and should be used, remove the deletion flag in CR02.
  Save the changes.
  Then retry processing the task list.
  
  
  
  Update the Task List:
  
  If the work center is indeed obsolete and should not be used, update the task list (&1) to reference a valid work center.
  Use transaction IA05 (Change Task List) or CA02 (Change Routing) depending on the module.
  Replace the deleted work center with an active one.
  Save the task list.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive the Task List:
  
  If the task list is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it to avoid confusion.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Work Center Deletion Flag:
  
  The deletion flag is a soft-delete indicator. The work center is not immediately removed from the database but is marked for deletion and excluded from active use.
  
  
  Impact:
  
  Using a work center flagged for deletion can cause scheduling, costing, and capacity planning errors.
