Deleting Relationships

Prerequisites

You delete relationships (assignments) when you want to erase all traces of a relationship from the database. The system keeps no historical information.

Deletions should only be necessary, for example, when you incorrectly or accidentally create a relationship record. If the objects involved are being reorganized, then it is more appropriate to move, or delimit, the objects.

When you work with positions, you might be deleting relationship infotype records between positions and :

Organizational units (this is relationship A/B 003)
Holders (this is relationship A/B 008)
Positions (this is relationship A/B 002)

Jobs (this is relationship A/B 007)
Tasks (this is relationship A/B 007)

Caution

If you delete relationship records, the subordinate object is also removed from the tree structure. The system does not delete the object! However, it cannot display the object in the tree structure unless there is a relationship. To fix this, you must go into Detail Maintenance, and create a new relationship record.

Procedure

On the Change Staff Assignments or Change Position hierarchy screen, choose the relationship infotype record you want to delete.

Choose Edit ® Delete ® Relationship.

The Delete Relationship dialog box appears, displaying the affected objects.

Choose Delete.
