• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB352 - Contract &1 has already status "Logically Deleted" ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB352 Contract &1 has already status "Logically Deleted"
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform an operation on a contract that has already been marked as "Logically Deleted" in the system. In SAP, logical deletion means the record is not physically removed from the database but flagged as deleted, so it is excluded from normal processing and reporting.
  
  The contract number &1 (substituted with the actual contract number) you are trying to access or modify is already flagged as logically deleted.
  This usually happens if someone has previously deleted the contract logically, and now an attempt is made to change or process it again.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to change or extend a contract that was logically deleted.
  Trying to create a document or transaction referencing a logically deleted contract.
  Running reports or processes that include logically deleted contracts.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Contract Status:
  
  Use transaction ME33K (Display Contract) or ME32K (Change Contract) to verify the contract status.
  Confirm that the contract is indeed logically deleted.
  
  
  
  Restore Contract (if needed):
  
  If the contract was deleted by mistake and needs to be reactivated, you may need to remove the logical deletion flag.
  This is typically done by a user with appropriate authorization or via a custom program/transaction.
  Note: SAP standard does not provide a direct "undelete" function for contracts; you may need to consult your SAP support team or Basis/ABAP team to reverse the logical deletion flag in the database or via a custom report.
  
  
  
  Create a New Contract:
  
  If the contract is intentionally deleted and should not be restored, create a new contract instead of using the logically deleted one.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure you have the correct authorizations to access or modify contracts.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm with your business process owners why the contract was deleted and whether it should be restored or replaced.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Logical Deletion in SAP:
  
  Logical deletion is a soft delete where the record remains in the database but is excluded from normal processing. This is often used to maintain historical data integrity.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  ME33K - Display Contract
  ME32K - Change Contract
  ME31K - Create Contract
  
  
  
  Tables:
  
  Contract header data is stored in EKKO table.
  The deletion flag is usually stored in a field like LOEKZ (Deletion Indicator).
  
  
  
  SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to contract deletion and logical deletion handling.
  Consult your SAP system documentation or support portal for specific instructions on restoring logically deleted contracts.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempt to process a contract that is already logically deleted.
  Solution: Verify contract status, restore if necessary (with proper authorization), or create a new contract.
  Additional: Logical deletion is a soft delete; no direct undelete function in standard SAP.
