Mass Deletion of Events

You use this report to delete mass occurrences of one or more event types. In other words, if multiple events of the same event type exist, you can use this report to delete them.The system does not allow you to delete event types on the SAP Easy Access screen, under Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Demand Planning Environment Demand Planning Worklist End of the navigation path if the event type is used in events. You use this report to delete the uses of the event type.

To use this function, you must activate the business function SCM-APO-FCS, Events and Outliers, Causals, ABC/XYZ Classification (SCM_APO_FORECASTING_1). For more information, see SCM-APO-FCS, Events and Outliers, Causals, ABC/XYZ Classification.

Integration

After you have run this report, and the system has deleted all occurrences of an event type, you can delete the event type in the Demand Planning Worklist if the event type is not used in configuration (Customizing settings, forecast settings for planning areas). If the event type is still used in configuration (for example, you have configured future event estimation for the event type), the system does not allow you to delete the event type in the Demand Planning Worklist. In this case, you must run the Delete Event Types with Dependencies report to remove the event type from configurations.

Features

The report deletes all occurrences of a particular event type for the selection criteria you specify.

Selection

You specify a selection for which you want to delete the events. You can either use an existing, predefined selection, or create a new one by choosing the Edit Selection pushbutton.

If you specify a selection, the system deletes events for all planning objects on the level on which the events were created (the planning level that was specified for the planning area for outlier detection and event generation purpose). For example, if you select a zone, the system deletes all of the events which belong to the planning objects of that zone.

You can select event type ranges for deletion.

Note Note

If you want to delete an event type and all events that belong to that event type, do not specify a selection, and a time horizon. In such a case, specify only the event type in the Event Type field.

End of the note.

If you select the Trigger Forecast checkbox, the system runs forecasting after it has deleted the events and event type. The system uses the forecast profile that is assigned to the characteristic value combination (CVC) that was processed. The system performs forecasting only for the planning objects that have a deleted event.
