• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY107 - Supplier & of purchasing organization & flagged for deletion ?

  The SAP error message WY107: Supplier & of purchasing organization & flagged for deletion occurs when you try to perform a transaction or operation involving a supplier (vendor) that has been flagged for deletion in the context of a specific purchasing organization.
  
  Cause:
  
  The supplier (vendor) master record for the specified purchasing organization has been marked for deletion.
  This means that the vendor is no longer active or valid for procurement activities under that purchasing organization.
  The system prevents further transactions (like purchase orders, contracts, or info records) with a vendor flagged for deletion to avoid inconsistencies or errors.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, vendors can be flagged for deletion at different levels: client, company code, or purchasing organization.
  Flagging a vendor for deletion is a way to logically remove the vendor from active use without physically deleting the master data.
  When a vendor is flagged for deletion at the purchasing organization level, it means that the vendor should no longer be used for procurement activities in that purchasing organization.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Use transaction XK03 (Display Vendor) or MK03 (Display Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Enter the vendor number and purchasing organization.
  Check the deletion flag status in the purchasing data.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag (if appropriate):
  
  If the vendor should still be used, remove the deletion flag.
  Use transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or MK02 (Change Vendor Purchasing Data).
  Navigate to the purchasing data and clear the deletion flag.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Vendor:
  
  If the vendor is correctly flagged for deletion, select an alternative active vendor for the purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Consult with Procurement or Master Data Team:
  
  Sometimes vendors are flagged for deletion due to business reasons (e.g., vendor no longer supplies goods).
  Confirm with the responsible team before reactivating a vendor.

  Notes:
  
  Deletion flags do not physically delete the vendor but prevent further use.
  Vendors flagged for deletion can still be used in historical documents but not in new transactions.
