  The SAP error message 3X032, which states "Accounted records cannot be deleted," typically occurs when you attempt to delete accounting documents that have already been posted in the system. This error is a safeguard to maintain the integrity of financial data, as deleting accounted records can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and auditing.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The accounting document you are trying to delete has already been posted and is part of the financial records.
  Dependencies: The document may have dependencies, such as being referenced by other documents or reports.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary permissions to delete the document.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types in SAP may have restrictions that prevent deletion.
  
  Solution:

  Check Document Dependencies: Ensure that the document is not referenced by other documents. If it is, you may need to address those dependencies first.

  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions for your specific scenario.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are trying to delete a document in a specific module (like FI, CO, etc.), ensure you are using the correct transaction codes and procedures for that module.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document), FB08 (Reverse Document), and FBRA (Reverse Document with Reference).
