Use

You can delete from your system any allocation line items in the plan data that you no longer require.

In General Ledger Accounting, you can only delete allocation line items in the following cases:

For plan cycles

For actual postings in a rollup ledger

You delete the line items for a specific allocation cycle.

You should delete line items in the following cases:

You have executed and subsequently reversed an allocation cycle. You can then delete the line items from the allocation runs that have been reversed.

You want to create memory space on your database. The repeated execution and reversal of allocation cycles can take up considerable memory space.

Delete allocation line items that you no longer require periodically.
