Deleting Relationships

Prerequisites

You delete relationships (assignments) when you want to erase all traces of a relationship from the database. The system keeps no historical information.

Deletions should only be necessary, for example, when you incorrectly or accidentally create a relationship record. If the objects involved are being reorganized, then it is more appropriate to move, or delimit, the objects.

When you work with positions, you might be deleting relationship infotype records between positions and:

  • Organizational units (this is relationship A/B 003),

  • Holders (this is relationship A/B 008),

  • Positions (this is relationship A/B 002),

  • Jobs (this is relationship A/B 007),

  • Tasks (this is relationship A/B 007).

Procedure


  1. On the Change Staff Assignments or Change Position Hierarchy screen, choose the relationship infotype record you want to delete.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation pathEdit Next navigation step Delete Next navigation step RelationshipEnd of the navigation path.

    The Delete Relationship dialog box appears, displaying the affected objects.

  3. Choose Delete.
