Function documentation Object Deletion  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this function if you want to delete an object in the Engineering Workbench.

Note

If your organization has implemented the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component and uses change master records to process, for example, BOMs and routings, we recommend you read the information on the Deleting a Change Status with Date Validity function and, if relevant, Setting Deletion Indicators for Change Statuses with Parameter Effectivity.

Features

To delete an object, enter a key date that lies within the object's validity period.

When you save your worklist, objects you have deleted in the Engineering Workbench are not deleted from the database. Instead, these objects are given deletion indicators. Before the object data can be deleted from the database, it first has to be archived.

For more information on archiving, see the documentation for the Data Archiving (CA-ARC) component, under Archiving Application Data.
