• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 56_S4027 - Empl. &1: only vendor(s) marked for deletion exist. It will be updated. ?

  The SAP error message 56_S4027 indicates that there is an issue with the employee record you are trying to update. Specifically, it means that the system has found only vendor(s) that are marked for deletion associated with the employee, which prevents the update from being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Marked for Deletion: The employee record is linked to a vendor that has been marked for deletion in the system. This typically happens when a vendor is no longer active or is being phased out.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data where the employee is expected to have valid vendor records, but all associated vendors are flagged for deletion.
  Configuration Issues: There might be configuration settings in the system that are causing this behavior, especially if the employee is expected to have active vendor records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status: 
  
  Go to the vendor master data and check the status of the vendors associated with the employee. If they are marked for deletion, you may need to either unmark them or create new active vendor records.
  
  
  
  Update Employee Record:
  
  If the employee should not be linked to the vendors marked for deletion, update the employee record to link it to valid vendors.
  
  
  
  Create New Vendor:
  
  If the vendors are indeed obsolete, consider creating new vendor records that are active and link them to the employee.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MK01 (Create Vendor), MK02 (Change Vendor), or MK03 (Display Vendor) to manage vendor records.
  Data Consistency Checks: Regularly perform data consistency checks to ensure that employee and vendor records are correctly linked and that there are no records marked for deletion that should be active.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to vendor and employee records in SAP.
  
  By addressing the vendor status and ensuring that the employee is linked to valid records, you should be able to resolve the error message 56_S4027.
