SCRM157
- Approved or rejected check exceptions cannot be deleted ?The SAP error message SCRM157, which states "Approved or rejected check exceptions cannot be deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) or similar modules where check exceptions are managed. This error indicates that the system is preventing the deletion of check exceptions that have already been approved or rejected, as these statuses imply that the exceptions have been processed and are part of the system's historical data.
Cause:
- Status of the Check Exception: The primary cause of this error is that the check exception you are trying to delete has already been approved or rejected. Once an exception reaches these statuses, it is considered finalized and cannot be removed from the system.
- Data Integrity: SAP enforces this rule to maintain data integrity and ensure that historical records are preserved for auditing and reporting purposes.
Solution:
- Review the Status: Check the status of the check exception you are trying to delete. If it is approved or rejected, you will not be able to delete it.
- Change the Status: If you need to remove the check exception, you may need to change its status back to a state that allows deletion (if applicable). This might involve reversing the approval or rejection, which may not always be possible depending on your organization's policies and the configuration of the SAP system.
- Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you believe that the check exception should be deletable, consult with your SAP administrator or support team. They may have the necessary permissions or tools to assist you in resolving the issue.
- Documentation and Audit Trail: If deletion is not possible, consider documenting the reason for the exception and any actions taken. This can help maintain clarity in your records and provide context for future reference.
