If you set the deletion indicator for a document, BAdI method DELETE_CHECK (checks when setting deletion flag for document) is called.

In R/3 the deletion indicator ensures that a document is deleted in the following processing situations:

• using the report MCDOKDEL
• after the archiving session

If you do not want to delete an existing object-document link for your object, you can initiate an exception message with this method. Create a message using the following template:

message e000(26) with 'TEXT' raising no_delete.
