• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F2130 - Vendor & is marked for deletion in purch.organization & ?

  The SAP error message F2130 indicates that a vendor is marked for deletion in a specific purchasing organization. This typically means that the vendor is no longer active for transactions in that purchasing organization, and as a result, you cannot process any purchasing documents (like purchase orders) involving that vendor.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Marked for Deletion: The vendor has been flagged as "marked for deletion" in the vendor master data for the specified purchasing organization.
  Data Maintenance: This could be due to data maintenance activities where the vendor was intentionally marked for deletion due to various reasons such as business decisions, vendor performance issues, or changes in supplier relationships.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  Go to the vendor master data (transaction code XK03 for general view or MK03 for purchasing view).
  Enter the vendor number and the purchasing organization to check the status of the vendor.
  
  
  
  Unmark Vendor for Deletion:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can unmark the vendor for deletion.
  Use transaction code XK02 (or MK02 for purchasing view) to edit the vendor master data.
  Navigate to the relevant section and remove the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Departments:
  
  If you do not have the authorization to change the vendor status, consult with your procurement or finance department to understand the reason for the deletion flag and whether it should be removed.
  
  
  
  Create a New Vendor:
  
  If the vendor is indeed no longer valid and should not be reactivated, consider creating a new vendor record if you need to continue business with that supplier.

  Vendor Master Data: Understanding how vendor master data is structured in SAP is crucial. It includes general data, company code data, and purchasing organization data.
  Deletion Flag: The deletion flag can be set at different levels (general, company code, purchasing organization), and it’s important to know which level is causing the issue.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to vendor master data.
  Audit Trail: Keep in mind that changes to vendor status should be documented for audit purposes, especially in regulated industries.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the vendor should not be marked for deletion, it may be necessary to involve your SAP support team or a consultant for further investigation.
