Set Deletion Flag

Use

You can archive bank master data that you do not need. Archiving data means that the selected data is extracted from the SAP database, deleted and placed in a file. You can then transfer this file to an archive system.

You cannot immediately delete bank master data. The SAP System must first check if the master data can be deleted. You therefore set a deletion indicator for the bank master data to be deleted in the first step.

For bank master data that is to be physically deleted, there must not be any reference to it in the SAP System. This means that you need to make sure that the bank is neither entered in the master records nor defined as a house bank.
