• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI_APPL030 - The delete indicator is set for additional & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTADDI_APPL030 The delete indicator is set for additional &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to process or use an additional data record (often related to time data, master data, or infotypes) that has been marked with a delete indicator. The delete indicator means the record is flagged for deletion and should no longer be used or processed.
  In particular, this message is common in HR Time Management or Payroll when dealing with additional infotype records or time data that have been logically deleted but still referenced somewhere in the system.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system detects that the additional record you are trying to access or modify has the delete indicator set.
  The delete indicator is a flag in the database that marks the record as deleted without physically removing it.
  This prevents accidental use of obsolete or invalid data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Record Status:
  
  Identify the additional record causing the issue.
  Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PT60 (Time Evaluation) to check the status of the relevant infotype or time data.
  
  
  
  Remove or Reactivate the Record:
  
  If the record is no longer needed, ensure it is properly deleted or removed from the system.
  If the record is required, remove the delete indicator by reactivating or correcting the record.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to find other records with delete indicators that might cause similar issues.
  For example, use report RPTIME00 or other relevant HR reports.
  
  
  
  Technical Correction (if necessary):
  
  In some cases, a developer or SAP support consultant may need to adjust the database flags or correct the data via debugging or direct table updates (only as a last resort and with proper authorization).
  
  
  
  Review Related Processes:
  
  Check if any batch jobs, interfaces, or custom programs are trying to process deleted records.
  Adjust these processes to exclude records with delete indicators.
