Delete Table EntriesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

To delete a table entry or a block of entries you have to first select the entry. After it has been deleted, a selected entry is assigned a deletion flag in an internal buffer and no longer appears in the list of the table entries in the list layout. As long as you have not yet saved what has been deleted, you can display and retrieve the entries which are buffered internally.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Select the table entry or block you want to delete.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Delete End of the navigation path.

  3. Make sure whether you really want to delete the deleted table entries. Choose Start of the navigation path Selection Next navigation step Display Deleted End of the navigation path.

    This takes you into the internal buffer.

  4. If you find table entries that you do not want to delete, you must select them in this internal buffer.

  5. To retrieve the table entries that you selected in Step 4, choose Retrieve.

  6. To definitively confirm your deletions, save the contents of the internal buffer in the Overview of Deleted Entries screen.

    You can no longer retrieve the deleted table entries.

    Note

    When you delete table entries in a View cluster, the SAP system checks whether the table entry to be deleted contains dependent table entries. If this is the case, the dependent table entries are deleted. When retrieving in a view cluster, the SAP system also retrieves the dependent and higher-level table entries automatically.

    The following graphic shows how to delete table entries.
