• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC674 - Supplier &1 is marked for deletion ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC674 Supplier &1 is marked for deletion
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use or reference a supplier/vendor in a transaction or process, but the supplier master record is flagged as marked for deletion in the system. In SAP, vendors can be marked for deletion either at the client level or at the purchasing organization level. Once marked, the system restricts further use of that vendor in purchasing documents or related processes.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the vendor number.
  The vendor master record has a deletion flag set, which means the vendor is scheduled to be deleted or is no longer valid for transactions.
  This is a preventive measure to avoid creating or processing documents with vendors that are no longer active or valid.
  
  
  How to Check:
  
  
  Vendor Master Data (Transaction XK03 or MK03):  
  
  Go to the vendor master display transaction.
  Check the Purchasing Data tab.
  Look for the Deletion flag indicator.
  
  
  
  Deletion Flag at Client Level:  
  
  In the vendor master general data, check if the vendor is marked for deletion at the client level.
  
  
  
  Deletion Flag at Purchasing Organization Level:  
  
  Check if the vendor is marked for deletion for the specific purchasing organization you are working with.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If the vendor should still be used:
  
  Remove the deletion flag from the vendor master record.
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02 (Change Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Navigate to the relevant tab where the deletion flag is set and remove it.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  If the vendor is correctly marked for deletion:
  
  Use a different vendor that is active and not marked for deletion.
  If the vendor is obsolete, update your documents or master data accordingly.
  
  
  
  If you need to create a new vendor:
  
  Create a new vendor master record with a new vendor number.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Vendors marked for deletion cannot be used in purchase orders, contracts, or other procurement documents.
  The deletion flag is a soft deletion; the vendor master data still exists but is blocked for transactional use.
  Deletion flags can be set at different organizational levels, so ensure you check the correct level.
  Sometimes, vendors are marked for deletion as part of data cleanup or vendor master data maintenance.
  
  
  Summary:
