Effects on Existing Data

These functions enable you to use the SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component to support the deletion of personal data and to control the deletion and blocking of business partner master data. Personal data collected in business partner master data can be blocked as soon as business activities for which this data is needed are completed and the residence time for this data has elapsed; after this time, only users who are assigned additional authorizations can access this data. After the retention period for data expires, personal data can be destroyed completely so that it can no longer be retrieved. Retention periods must be defined in the customer system.

When a business partner is blocked access to all related credit management data is restricted. Any unauthorized user cannot view the data related to credit management (including credit management cases and master data) of blocked business partners. Additionally, you cannot create new data or change existing credit management data. Credit management cases are deleted using archiving object SCMG; all other credit management data are deleted using the archiving object of the SAP business partner.
