Material deletion from MDM doesnt work in R/3

Hi,

We are trying to the delete the material from MDM using data manager. The IDoc is sent to R/3 but it fails with the following log messages.

****************

The data for the maintenance statuses K cannot be transferred

The material cannot be maintained since no maintainable data transferred

****************

what are we missing on the R/3 side?

Thx,

Krishna.
