Deleting Business Partners
Use
You can delete temporary business partners that are no longer needed, or business partners
that were loaded into a system by mistake without archiving these data records beforehand.
In this way the volume of data is reduced and performance is improved.
Activities
You can delete business partners from your database in two ways:
One-step procedure
Using the transaction Deletion of Business Partners (BUPA_DEL), you can delete the
following business partners from your system:
o BPs that you select using the business partner number
o BPs that have been given a deletion or archiving flag
o BPs that have the system status deletable
You can also carry out a test run.
Two-step procedure
1. In preparation for the delete operation, you can firstly determine the data
records for deletion and set the relevant system status using the transaction Set
Deletion or Archiving Flag (BUPA_PRE_DA).
For more information, see the report documentation.
2. Following this, you carry out the actual delete operation using the transaction
Deletion of Business Partners (BUPA_DEL). To do this, you need to have set
the flag deletable as the parameter.
In both cases, the system checks beforehand whether the business partners intended for
archiving are still being actively used in the system. These checks are defined in the BDT event
DELE1. You can also define other checks here.
Note
You can now delete complete business partner data records. It is not possible to delete only
part of the business partner data.
End of the note.
You can also delete user-defined tables. To do this you must define appropriate function
modules for the BDT event DELE2.
The business partners deleted from the system, as well as the business partners that are still
being used and that cannot be deleted, are recorded in a log.
You can call up all the logs for your archiving object directly in the archive administration.
If you want to disconnect existing connection of Customer 3000012 and BP 38,
and you want to recreate and connect Business Partner with Customer 3000012,
You can try to execute t-code 'BUPA_DEL', then Business Partner will be deleted.
But This Connection data between BP and Customer will not be deleted. so you must try to delete this
connection in the table ('CVI_CUST_LINK') by manually.
