  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC076 Vendor flagged for deletion typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a vendor that is being used in a planning process has been marked for deletion in the system. This can prevent the system from processing transactions or planning activities that involve that vendor.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Status: The vendor in question has been flagged for deletion in the vendor master data. This means that the vendor is no longer considered active for transactions.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
  
  Go to the vendor master data in SAP (transaction code MK03 for display).

  Remove the deletion flag and save the changes.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Data:
  
  Ensure that any planning data or transactions that reference this vendor are updated accordingly.
  If the vendor is no longer needed, consider updating the planning data to remove references to this vendor.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  Discuss with relevant business users or departments to confirm whether the vendor should be active or if it should remain flagged for deletion.
