• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06740 - Supplier & flagged for deletion ?

  The SAP error message "06740 Supplier & flagged for deletion" typically indicates that the supplier (vendor) you are trying to work with has been marked for deletion in the system. This means that the supplier is no longer active and cannot be used for transactions such as purchasing or invoicing.
  Cause:
  
  Flagged for Deletion: The supplier has been flagged for deletion in the vendor master data. This is often done when a supplier is no longer active or has been replaced by another supplier.
  Data Maintenance: The flag may have been set during routine data maintenance or as part of a cleanup process in the vendor master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Vendor Status: Verify the status of the supplier in the vendor master data. You can do this by navigating to the vendor master record (transaction code XK03 for general data or MK03 for purchasing data).
  Remove Deletion Flag: If the supplier is still valid and should be active, you can remove the deletion flag. This can be done by:
  
  Accessing the vendor master record using transaction code XK02 (for general data) or MK02 (for purchasing data).
  Locate the "Deletion" indicator and uncheck it.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If you are unsure whether the supplier should be reactivated, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to confirm the supplier's status.
  Create a New Vendor: If the supplier is indeed no longer valid and should not be reactivated, consider creating a new vendor record for any new transactions.
  
  Related Information:

  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to vendor master data.
