3545183 - Error "BP role FLCU00 still in use; deletion not allowed" when blocking suppliers at the company code level using Business partner API in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • When using the Business partner API to create or change an Employee with Role FLVN00 from the workday system, an error "BP role FLCU00 still in use; deletion not allowed" is encountered.
  • This issue arises when an employee, who has been manually extended as a customer role FLCU00, is attempted to be blocked as a supplier from the workday system.
  • The error persists despite only blocking suppliers at the company code level and not at the customer level.

Environment

SAP S/4HAHA Cloud

Cause

The issue arises due to the system's attempt to delete the customer role FLCU00, which is not included in the API payload file, when blocking the supplier role.

Resolution

  1. Confirm that the CompleteTransmissionIndicator (CTI indicator) for Role is set to "true" in the payload.
  2. If the issue persists, consider using the special Communication Scenarios/APIs available for this process; specifically, communication scenario SAP_COM_0091.
