Procedure

To delete a proposal in the proposal pool, proceed as follows:

Choose the Delete Proposal icon to the left of the proposal.

The Delete Proposal confirmation prompt appears.
Choose Yes, or Yes, don't ask again, or No.

Note
If you choose Yes, don't ask again the confirmation prompt no longer appears for the entire time that you remain in transaction SE63 or SLPP.

Result

The system stops displaying the deleted proposal, and assigns quality status Z to it. You can display deleted proposals. They are displayed exactly where they used to exist and are flagged with a small trashcan icon. For more information, see Displaying Deleted Proposals.

If you call up the attributes for a proposal, the Last Changed By field shows you who deleted the proposal. For more information on how to display the attributes for a proposal, see Displaying Attributes for a Proposal.

If you try to create a deleted proposal again, the system automatically displays and highlights the deleted proposal.
