Deletion of Personal Data

The processing of personal data is subject to applicable laws related to the deletion of this data when the specified, explicit, and legitimate purpose for processing this personal data has expired. If there is no longer a legitimate purpose that requires the retention and use of personal data, it must be deleted. When deleting data in a dataset, all referenced objects related to that data set must be deleted as well. Industry-specific legislation in different countries also needs to be taken into consideration in addition to general data protection laws. After the expiration of the longest retention period, the data must be deleted.

Data is read from source systems (which have data lifecycle management objects) into SAP Profitability and Performance Management for calculations/processing and the results are written back to such systems. So deletion of personal data has to be performed in such source systems. For the data residing in the temporary buffer tables of SAP Profitability and Performance Management you have to run the temporary table data deletion report which clears data from the SAP Profitability and Performance Management temporary tables (see Delete Temporary Data).
