This typically occurs when there is an attempt to perform an operation on a bank key that has been marked for deletion, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial data or processes.
  Cause:
  
  Bank Key Marked for Deletion: The bank key you are trying to use is flagged for deletion in the system. This could happen if a user has initiated the deletion process but has not completed it.
  Data Integrity Issues: The system may have detected that the bank key is still being referenced in other transactions or configurations, leading to a conflict.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify or delete the bank key.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Bank Key Status: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code FI01 for creating bank master data) and check the status of the bank key. If it is marked for deletion, you may need to reverse this status.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:

  Review Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the bank key is not being used in any active transactions or configurations. If it is, you may need to resolve those dependencies before you can delete or modify the bank key.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions or if you are unsure about the implications of removing the deletion flag, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who specializes in the IHC module.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Support:
