Overview:

When submitting a Data Change Request (DCR) to inactivate the parent affiliation, it is auto-rejected by the Network system.  An error appears in the Resolution Notes:

System rejected - An inactive affiliation cannot be set as primary. Please update the affiliation status before setting it as primary. 

Root Cause:

This is working as design. The primary affiliation cannot be set to inactive by DCR.

Solution:

Set the Primary Affiliation to No and the Status to Inactive when submitting the DCR.
