3560718 - The attempt to save the Bank Account as inactive failed - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When saving the Bank Account as inactive the error message "Accounting documents exist." will pop up, even though the Bank Account has never been used to posting any documents.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to App "Manage Bank Account"
  2. Select the Bank Account to inactive.
  3. Click the "Save as Inactive" button.

Cause

 Because the bank account is linked to a G/L account and a Company Code, even if the G/L account has posted documents under another Bank Account, the Bank Account cannot be deleted either.

Resolution

 Forcefully deleting the Bank Account is not recommended, as it may affect system data.
