• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3G618 - Bank &1 (country &2) is selected for deletion (table BNKA) ?

  The SAP error message 3G618 indicates that a bank (identified by the bank key &1 for country &2) is marked for deletion in the system. This typically occurs when a bank record in the BNKA table (which stores bank master data) has been flagged for deletion, meaning it can no longer be used in transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag: The bank record has been marked for deletion, either manually by a user or through a data migration process.
  Data Integrity: The system enforces data integrity rules, preventing the use of banks that are flagged for deletion in financial transactions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Bank Record:
  
  Go to transaction code SE16N or SE11 and view the BNKA table.
  Search for the bank key and country to confirm its status.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:
  
  If the bank record should not be deleted, you can remove the deletion flag. This can typically be done in the following way:
  
  Use transaction code FI01 (Create Bank) or FI02 (Change Bank) to access the bank master data.
  Enter the bank key and country, and check the settings.
  If the deletion flag is set, you can uncheck it and save the record.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure whether the bank should be deleted or not, consult with your finance or data management team to confirm the appropriate action.
  
  
  
  Data Migration:
  
  If this error occurred during a data migration process, ensure that the migration scripts or processes are correctly handling bank records and not inadvertently marking valid banks for deletion.
