Deleting Allocation Line Items

Use

You can delete allocation line items that you no longer require in your system. You delete the line items per allocation cycle. You should delete allocation line items when:

  • 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. It is therefore recommended that you periodically delete the allocation line items that you no longer require.
