These functions enable you to use the SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component to support the deletion of personal data and to control the deletion and blocking of business partner master data. Personal data collected in business partner master data can be blocked as soon as business activities for which this data is needed are completed and the residence time for this data has elapsed; after this time, only users who are assigned additional authorizations can access this data. After the retention period for data expires, personal data can be destroyed completely so that it can no longer be retrieved. Retention periods must be defined in the customer system.
When a business partner is blocked, access to collection management specific records pertaining to the blocker business partner is restricted. You cannot create, view or process a worklist for a blocked business partner. Contact person details used in creating the customer contact is checked for its blocking indicator. The contact person and the details pertaining to the blocked customer are masked. The contact person details can be deleted using the contact deletion report. The master data of the collection management can be deleted using the business partner archiving object, CA_BUPA.
