How To Fix NAA386 - Only deletion flags are set (business volume data exists)

NAA386 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: NAA - Subsequent settlement (Purchasing)

• Message number: 386

• Message text: Only deletion flags are set (business volume data exists)

What causes this issue?

Business volume data exists for a condition record that belongs to
arrangement &V1&.
As a result, the arrangement cannot be deleted from the database.

System Response

The condition records of arrangement &V1& are flagged for deletion.
This ensures that they are no longer used in price determination.
However, statistical updating of business volume continues until
settlement accounting is performed again for the arrangement.

How to fix this error?

Perform settlement accounting for arrangement &V1& on settlement date
&V2& to deactivate it.
In settlement accounting, it is possible that only the existing
provisions for income are reversed and the arrangement is assigned the
status 'Final settlement effected'.
Final settlement accounting can be performed any time before the end of
the validity period &V2&.
If necessary, the deletion flag can be removed. However, in this case,
business volume data may be lost. This can be reposted using the
'Subsequent business volume update' function.
