• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACCR005 - Accrual/deferral document is flagged for deletion - display only possible ?

  The SAP error message ACCR005 indicates that an accrual or deferral document is flagged for deletion, which means that the document can only be displayed and not modified or deleted. This typically occurs when a document has been marked for deletion in the system, often due to business processes or data management practices.
  Cause:
  
  Flagged for Deletion: The document has been marked for deletion in the system, which is a standard practice to prevent further changes to documents that are no longer relevant or needed.
  Business Process: The document may have been processed in a way that requires it to be retained for audit or compliance purposes, but it is no longer active in the system.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify or delete the document, leading to the display-only restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the accrual/deferral document in the system. If it is indeed flagged for deletion, you will need to confirm whether it should remain in that state or if it can be unflagged.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you believe the document should not be flagged for deletion, consult with your finance or accounting team to understand the business rationale behind the deletion flag.
  Unflagging the Document: If it is determined that the document should not be flagged for deletion, a user with the appropriate permissions can unflag the document. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., FB03 for document display).
  Using the appropriate transaction code or menu path to change the status of the document.
  
  
  Permissions Review: If the issue is related to user permissions, ensure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to modify or delete documents in the system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  FB03: Display Document
