• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX2387 - Deletion for billing req. type &1 not permitted, only archiving possible. ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX2387 indicates that a deletion operation for a billing request type is not permitted, and only archiving is allowed. This typically occurs in the context of billing documents or requests that are part of the financial processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Billing Request Type: The error is triggered because the billing request type specified (denoted by &1 in the message) is configured in such a way that it does not allow deletion. This is often a result of business rules or configurations set in the SAP system.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity and consistency, which means that certain documents cannot be deleted if they are linked to other financial transactions or if they are in a state that requires them to be retained for auditing or reporting purposes.
  Archiving Configuration: The system may be configured to allow only archiving of certain billing request types instead of deletion. Archiving is a process that moves data to a storage area for long-term retention without affecting the operational database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Archiving Instead of Deletion: Since deletion is not permitted, you should consider archiving the billing request instead. You can use the archiving transaction (usually transaction code SARA) to archive the relevant billing documents.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the billing request type in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG). You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to understand the specific settings that prevent deletion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific billing request type and its allowed operations.
  Error Handling: If you believe that deletion should be allowed based on your business processes, you may need to discuss this with your SAP support team to evaluate if changes to the configuration are necessary.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SARA (for archiving) and the specific transaction for managing billing requests.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations to perform archiving or any other operations on billing requests.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the situation is complex, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP financial processes.
