• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY084 - Supplier & marked for deletion for contact person & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY084 - Supplier & marked for deletion for contact person &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or maintain a contact person for a supplier that has been marked for deletion in the system. In SAP, if a supplier master record is flagged for deletion, you cannot add or modify contact persons linked to that supplier because the supplier is scheduled to be removed from the system.
  
  The first & in the message is replaced by the supplier number.
  The second & is replaced by the contact person number.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The supplier master record has the deletion flag set (either for the current fiscal year or for all years).
  The system prevents changes to related data such as contact persons to maintain data consistency.
  This is a standard SAP check to avoid inconsistencies or orphaned data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Deletion Flag:
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor - Purchasing) or FD03 (Display Vendor - Accounting).
  Enter the supplier number.
  Check if the supplier is marked for deletion in the relevant company code or purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag (if appropriate):
  
  If the supplier should not be deleted, remove the deletion flag.
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02 or FD02.
  Navigate to the deletion flag screen and clear the deletion indicator.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  If Supplier is to be deleted:
  
  You cannot add or change contact persons.
  If you need to maintain contact persons, you must first remove the deletion flag.
  Alternatively, create a new supplier master record if the old one is obsolete.
  
  
  
  Check Contact Person Data:
  
  If the contact person is obsolete or incorrect, consider deleting or updating it only after the deletion flag is removed.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Deletion flags can be set for different organizational levels (client, company code, purchasing org).
  The deletion flag does not immediately delete the supplier but marks it for deletion in the future.
  Contact persons are stored in the vendor master and linked to the supplier number.
  This error is a preventive measure to avoid data inconsistencies.
