 Deleting Versions of External Purchasing Documents

Use

You may want to delete versions of an external purchasing document (because the changes made in a certain version are not to be applied after all, for example).

Integration

Versions of a purchasing document can be deleted in the relevant change transaction for the purchasing document (e.g. in Change Purchase Order (ME22N)).

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be satisfied before a version of a purchasing document can be deleted:

  • The changes made in the version must have been reversed (cancelled, revoked)

  • All open messages must have been deleted

Activities

To delete a version of an external purchasing document, proceed as follows:

  1. Manually reverse all changes made to the purchasing document in this version.

If you do not reverse the changes of the current version, the changes will be assigned to the previous version.

  1. Manually delete all open messages for the purchasing document.

  1. Delete the version by choosing Delete version on the Version tab page.

Background documentation 

When you delete a version, it is completely deleted from the database.
