Deleting Allocation Line Items (SAP Library

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.

Prerequisites

Choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Special Purpose Ledger ® Periodic processing ® Allocation ® Delete line items.

The Allocation: Delete Line Items No Longer Needed screen appears.

Procedure

Make the following entries:

– Ledger name of the allocation cycle(s)

– Name of the allocation cycle for which you want to delete the allocation line items.

– Name of a second allocation cycle if you want to delete line items for a range of allocation cycles.

Select Test run if you want to perform a test run of the deletion program.

The allocation line items are not deleted from the database.

Choose Program ® Execute.

Result

The system deletes the line items for the allocation cycle(s) you entered on the previous screen.

If you set the Test run indicator, the system displays a list of allocation cycles for which you can delete line items.
