• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCLM_BAM_MAINT704 - Bank &1 &2 is marked as deleted, but still referred in bank account &3 ?

  The SAP error message FCLM_BAM_MAINT704 indicates that a bank is marked as deleted in the system, but there are still references to this bank in a bank account. This situation typically arises in the context of bank account management within the SAP Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) module, particularly in the Bank Account Management (BAM) component.
  Cause:
  
  Bank Deletion: The bank in question has been marked as deleted in the system, which means it is no longer active or valid for transactions.
  Existing References: There are still active bank accounts that reference this deleted bank. This could happen if the deletion process was not properly handled or if the bank account was not updated to reflect the deletion of the bank.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Bank Account References:
  
  Go to the Bank Account Management (BAM) module and check the bank accounts that are still referencing the deleted bank.
  Identify the specific bank account(s) that are causing the error.
  
  
  
  Update or Remove References:
  
  If the bank account should still be active, update the bank account to reference a valid bank instead of the deleted one.
  If the bank account is no longer needed, consider deleting or deactivating the bank account.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Bank (if necessary):
  
  If the deletion was a mistake and the bank should still be active, you may need to reverse the deletion process and reactivate the bank.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a data consistency check to ensure that there are no further references to the deleted bank.
