External List Deletion

This function allows the deletion of external lists and related data. Deletions may be a requirement of the contract with the data vendor.

Note Note

Business partners created from a rented external list are deleted only if they are flagged as Rented at the time of external list deletion and if they are not used in any business transactions such as inbound activities, sales orders, or leads.
Outbound activities are the exception. Business partners that are flagged as Rented and used in Outbound Activities are deleted with the deletion of the external list. However, the outbound activity itself is not deleted.

To execute this step, select the step Delete External List and set the start data.
Note
- Rented business partners are physically deleted from the system.
- Business partners created from an external list that is not rented are not deleted.
