  Error Message
  WSTI_MODEL007: Deletion flag for items set
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to process or post a document or data record in SAP, but one or more items within that document or record have been marked with a deletion flag. The deletion flag indicates that these items are logically deleted or flagged for deletion and should not be processed further.
  In other words, the system detects that some items are flagged as deleted, and therefore it prevents further processing to avoid inconsistencies or errors.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During posting or saving of documents (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, delivery documents).
  When trying to process or update data models or transactional data where some items are flagged for deletion.
  In scenarios involving data replication or integration where flagged items are included.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve
  
  
  Check the flagged items:
  
  Identify which items in the document or data set have the deletion flag set.
  You can usually do this by displaying the document/item details in the relevant SAP transaction (e.g., VA03 for sales orders, ME23N for purchase orders).
  
  
  
  Remove or unflag the deletion flag if appropriate:
  
  If the deletion flag was set by mistake, you can remove it by editing the document or item and clearing the deletion indicator.
  Note: This depends on the business process and authorization. Sometimes deletion flags are set intentionally and should not be removed.
  
  
  
  Delete the flagged items:
  
  If the items are no longer needed, you may need to delete them completely from the document or data set.
  Use the appropriate transaction or function module to delete the flagged items properly.
  
  
  
  Recreate the document or item:
  
  In some cases, it might be easier to cancel or delete the entire document and recreate it without the flagged items.
  
  
  
  Check for custom code or enhancements:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom scenario or during data replication, check if any custom logic is setting deletion flags incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WSTI_MODEL007 for any patches or known issues.
