• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_DOC023 - POS transactions from today will also be deleted ?

  The SAP error message WSTI_DOC023: POS transactions from today will also be deleted typically occurs in the context of SAP Retail or SAP IS-Retail systems, particularly when dealing with POS (Point of Sale) data processing and document management.
  
  Cause
  This message is a warning rather than a strict error. It usually appears when you are performing an operation that deletes or reprocesses POS transactions/documents, and the system warns you that transactions from the current day (today) will also be deleted or affected.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Deleting or reprocessing POS documents or transactions for a certain period.
  Running a POS data cleanup or correction program.
  Reversing or deleting POS documents that have already been posted or processed.
  When the system detects that the deletion scope includes transactions from the current day, which might not be fully processed or settled yet.
  
  The warning is meant to alert the user that the deletion will impact today's transactions, which could lead to data inconsistencies or loss of current day sales data if not handled carefully.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Review the scope of deletion:
  
  Check the selection criteria or date range for the deletion or reprocessing program.
  If possible, exclude today's transactions if you want to avoid deleting current day data.
  
  
  
  Backup data:
  
  Before proceeding, ensure that you have a backup or that the data can be restored if needed.
  Consider exporting or archiving POS transactions before deletion.
  
  
  
  Confirm business impact:
  
  Coordinate with business users (e.g., retail operations, finance) to confirm that deleting today's transactions is acceptable.
  Understand the impact on sales reporting, inventory, and financial postings.
  
  
  
  Proceed with caution:
  
  If you decide to proceed, confirm the warning and allow the deletion.
  Monitor the system after deletion to ensure data consistency.
  
  
  
  Check for open or incomplete transactions:
  
  Sometimes, transactions from today might still be open or in process.
  Ensure that all POS transactions are properly closed or settled before deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes or Support:
  
  If unsure, check SAP Notes related to POS transaction deletion or the specific program you are running.
  Contact SAP support if the message appears unexpectedly or if deletion causes issues.
