• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR571 - Vendor &1 is flagged for deletion ?

  The SAP error message BORGR571 indicates that a vendor (in this case, represented by &1) is flagged for deletion. This means that the vendor record has been marked in the system to indicate that it should no longer be used for transactions. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Flagged for Deletion: The vendor has been marked with a deletion flag in the vendor master data. This is typically done when a vendor is no longer active or is being phased out.
  Data Maintenance: The deletion flag can be set during data maintenance activities, either manually by a user or through a batch process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  Go to the vendor master data transaction (e.g., XK03 for display).
  Enter the vendor number and check the status. Look for any flags indicating that the vendor is marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can remove the deletion flag:
  
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) to modify the vendor record.
  Navigate to the relevant section (General Data or Company Code Data) and uncheck the deletion flag.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the vendor status, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for vendor management. They can assist in reviewing the vendor's status and making necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes:
  
  Ensure that the vendor should indeed be reactivated. Sometimes, vendors are flagged for deletion due to business decisions, and reactivating them may not be appropriate.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Vendor Master Data: Understanding how vendor master data is structured in SAP is crucial. It includes general data, company code data, and purchasing data.
  Deletion Flags: There are two types of deletion flags in SAP:
  
  General Deletion Flag: Prevents the vendor from being used in any transactions.
  Company Code Deletion Flag: Prevents the vendor from being used in transactions related to a specific company code.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  XK01: Create Vendor
  XK02: Change Vendor
  XK03: Display Vendor
  MK03: Display Vendor (Purchasing)
  FK03: Display Vendor (Accounting)
  
  
  
  Conclusion:
  The error message BORGR571 indicates that the vendor is flagged for deletion, which prevents any further transactions involving that vendor. By checking the vendor's status and potentially removing the deletion flag (if appropriate), you can resolve this issue. Always ensure that any changes made align with your organization's policies and procedures regarding vendor management.
