Deleting Disposal Documents

Use

This procedure describes how you delete a disposal document, in other words how you set the deletion indicator for a disposal document. The disposal document is not physically deleted from the database, but it can no longer be displayed afterwards.

Note Note

If you delete a disposal document in SAP EH&S Waste Management , this disposal document is displayed with a deletion indicator and remains available in the system. The disposal document number remains linked to the deleted disposal document and cannot be assigned again. This is of special importance when the number represents an authority-assigned disposal document number.
