Deleting Production Resources/Tools 

There are two methods for deleting production resources/tools (PRT) master records:

Direct deletion means that you can delete the PRT online, without using a deletion flag and an archiving program.

You can only directly delete PRTs of the category "PRT Master (Other)", provided they are not being used in a maintenance task list or maintenance order.

You cannot delete PRTs of the category "Material", "Equipment" and "Document" directly.

Assigning a deletion flag, means that you assign the PRT a deletion flag that results in the PRT being deleted by an archiving program. You can assign deletion flags to all PRT categories, even if they are being used in a maintenance task list or maintenance order. The deletion flag has no influence on the assignment of PRTs to a task list or order.

PRTs that have been assigned a deletion flag will be deleted the next time the archiving program is run, provided they are no longer being used in the task list or order.

To delete or assign a deletion flag to the individual PRT categories, read the following topics:
