• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CRFQ020 - Bidder &1 is marked for deletion. ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CRFQ020 indicates that a bidder (in this case, represented by &1, which is a placeholder for the bidder's identifier) is marked for deletion in the system. This typically occurs in the context of managing requests for quotations (RFQs) or procurement processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to include or reference a bidder in a procurement document (like an RFQ) who has been flagged for deletion in the system. This could happen for several reasons:
  
  The bidder was intentionally marked for deletion due to inactivity or other business decisions.
  There may have been an error in the data entry or maintenance process that led to the bidder being marked for deletion.
  The bidder's status may have changed due to compliance issues or other internal policies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Bidder Status:
  
  Go to the vendor master data (transaction code MK03 for display or MK02 for change).
  Enter the bidder's number and check the status. If the bidder is marked for deletion, you will see a specific indicator.
  
  
  
  Unmark for Deletion:
  
  If the bidder should not be marked for deletion, you can change the status back to active. Use transaction code MK02 to modify the vendor master data and remove the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Departments:
  
  If you are unsure why the bidder was marked for deletion, consult with your procurement or vendor management team to understand the implications of reactivating the bidder.
  
  
  
  Create a New Bidder:
  
  If the bidder is indeed no longer valid or should not be reactivated, consider creating a new vendor record for future transactions.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Documents:
  
  Ensure that there are no outstanding documents or transactions that might be affected by the change in the bidder's status.
