Use

Under certain prerequisites you can delete WBS elements directly, that is, delete physically.

Note

You cannot undo the physical deletion of WBS elements.

You can give WBS elements that cannot be deleted directly the Deletion flag status. They are deleted from the project logically.

Prerequisites

You can only delete WBS elements directly, if they have the status Created or Released and no postings or assignments to other objects exist.

Note

Integrated planning WBS elements can be deleted as long as no planned costs or revenues have been posted.

You cannot delete WBS elements with the status Released, if they are distributed via ALE or if active simulation versions exist.

Features

Set the Deletion flag status for WBS elements if they have any other status than Created or Released. As long as the WBS elements have the status Deletion flag and deletion indicators have not been set, you can cancel the deletion flag.

Note

If you delete WBS elements or set a deletion flag for them, subordinate WBS elements, and assignments are also deleted or have a deletion flag set.
