Use

This program deletes Standing Requests . You can use thisfunction for:

  • Standing requests that have been processed completely

  • Standing requests that no longer have an object

  • Parked standing requests, from which no posting documents have yet been created.

Prerequisites

The deletion indicator must be set in the master document of the standing request and the standing request must have been posted. (Exception: If posting documents have not yet been created from the standing request, then a parked standing request with deletion indicator can also be deleted). The deletion indicator shows that the standing request has been earmarked for deletion. It is set manually or automatically in the master document of the standing order:

  • If the period specified in the master document of the standing request has expired and all requests have already been generated, the program automatically fills the deletion indicator in the standing request master document for the last execution of the standing request.

  • If the reason for the standing request no longer applies and therefore you want to delete it, you can manually set the deletion indicator in the standing request master document. You set the deletion indicator by choosing   Goto   Standing Request Data   in the change mode of the standing request.

Features

Standing requests with a deletion indicator set can only be displayed, it is not possible to make changes to them.

If you start program Delete standing requests in the update run, the program deletes all standing requests with the deletion indicator from the database. The program does not delete posting documents (payment/acceptance requests) that have already been generated from the original document of the standing request. The program automatically sets the corresponding funds reservations to ‘Complete’.

You can restrict the selection to standing requests that had errors or that were only created for test purposes. To do this, set the indicator Only SR without Execution for the program run. Then only the standing requests that were not used to create posting documents are deleted.
