Clearing Credit Card numbers from table FPLTC

Hi Guys,
  Due to audit reasons we intend clearing all the Payment Card numbers for all the SD documents from the Payment Cards tab (VA03) from the doc header.
1. Are there any side effects of it if delete the table 'FPLTC'  completely where all the Credit Card numbers are stored corresponding to the doc.
2. Where can i find the link between the SD doc #'s corresponding Billing Plan and the credit card numbers. Credit Card #s  are corresponding to billing plan and we are having hard time finding the linking tables.
Thanks a lot
Amandeep

Amandeep,
The link between the order and the card number information in table FPLTC is through a field called the Payment Card Billing Plan Number.  In table VBAK it is field RPLNR.  In tables FPLA, FPLT and FPLTC it is field FPLNR.
I would recommend that you not delete the FPLTC records, instead I would recommend that you consider simply updating hte FPLTC-CCNUM field with either a dummy value (EX: "DELETED") or a masked value (EX: Change 4444333322221111 to ************1111). 
You can do this by writing a small ABAP program that will read the records in FPLTC (I'd recommend using function module BILLING_SCHEDULE_READ and then changing the CCNUM values and then updating the information with function module BILLING_SCHEDULE_SAVE.  Make sure to send field UPDKZ in XFPLT to 'U' to perform an update.
Alternatively you could do a direct read from FPLTC, change CCNUM and do a direct UPDATE FPLTC command.
Be aware that SAP discourages any direct table updates.
The downside to all of this, of course, is that you'll never be able to find the card number again should you need it.  For that reason, I'd recommend that you only do this for records that are older than 6 months.  A customer has up to 6 months to dispute a credit card charge and you'll want to keep the card number for at least that period of time so you can locate the record.
I'd also recommend you consider an alternate approach of encrypting the card numbers - either with SAP's encryption or a TOKENIZATION solution offered by a third-party.

    Hi martin
    Thanks a lot for your reply..it really helps...but i have some questions
    I have gone thru the notes 633462 and 766703 ..and they have useful info about encrypting and decrypting the CC data in SAP in detailed steps...
    Can you please elaborate little bit how can i do this...What should i do in SM49? How to decrypt the file using SM49?
    Lets say if i get the credit card numbers in the encrypted form then how can decrypt in SM49?
    or
    Can i use the Encrypted data directly from the external file in PGP format and load into SAP? Coz decrypt step is not really necessary for loading for us...all we need is to load the cc numbers into SAP in HR profile (PA30)...
    Please let me know

  • How do I remove credit card numbers that drop down from a menu?

    when I am asked for my credit card number on websites where I pay my bills, usually one or two numbers previously entered appears when the first number is entered. Some of those numbers are inactive. Is there a way to remove one or more numbers? I understand it is a browser problem.

    Firefox 4, to be released next year, shouldn't store credit card numbers anymore by performing a check.

  • Why i can't remove my credit card number from my account ?

    why i can't remove my credit card number from my account ?
    i always remove my credit card number after purchase apps , but i try at this morning it did't allow be to remove it anymore , can someone tell me why ?

    It happens on Mac App Store & iPhone App store as well.
    So clearly the problem is on my Apple ID..
    I've changed my credit card details on my Apple ID but it doesn't reflect onto my phone when I login after restarting the phone. Even if i sign out.
    When it reaches the part where I would need to verify my phone after entering my password. It just keeps requesting for my password and never shows me anything.
    If I click update apps it'll just disable my account. Even on my Mac App store same thing happening.

  • HT1918 How do i remove credit card information from my account?

    My son talked his grandmother into purchasing an app. I only let him use gift cards for this and would like to remove all creditcard info to avoid future problems. Thanks for any help!!

    Hi there
    I am still waiting for an answer.  I see numerous reply that do not answer the question, saying something like go into 'Payment Type' and select 'none'. 
    Well, that does not appear to exist on my account.
    Also, why are there only options to say an answer 'Solved my question'!? 
    What is the point in this self-congratulatory, self-perpetuating cobblers!?
    It's nothing short of sinister that there is not a clear and simple option on how to delete my credit card details from my account.
    I would appreciate a proper response from Apple by return.

    From that HT3702 page :
    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
    You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
    The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

  • HT1918 How do I remove my credit card details from my Apple Account?

    How do I remove my credit card details from my Apple Account?  I do not like the fact that Apple does not provide a clear and simple option to 'Delete a payment card', I definitely do not think this is legal.
    I ask this question because I recently received a spam-like message from Apple asking me to log in and update my account.  I went in and did that, but I would like to remove credit card details from the account and it is horribly stubborn about holding onto my credit card details.

    Hi there
    Thankyou for the latter responses from ssschmidt and limnos - as it happens I figured this out by myself.  Yes, it appears that Apple will not let you delete an account UNTIL YOU HAVE VALIDATED THE CARD DETAILS.  That it, until you have given them all of your credit card details - even down to the 3 digit validation number.  Only once you have provided this information does the 'Payment type - NONE' appear.
    I figure however, that you can just put any 3 digits in, ie, it doesn't need to be your actual 3 pin code, for the system to let you pass to the NONE option.
    As I said before, I still think this ***** the big one.  Apple should not be insisting on getting customers' bank details in this way - especially since there are these PHISHING emails floating around which look extremely like official Apple communications.  It was the receipt of one such email that alerted me to this issue in the first place - thanks Limnos, I didn't respond :-)
    This is the first time I've used this 'user to user' set up for a query like this, and I totally think it's ridiculous. This information should be readily available from Apple - no wonder their profit levels are so astromical!
    Happy Mondays y'all!

  • Deleting old credit card numbers

    For obvious security reasons, we would like to simply erased credit cards Number in the SAP and CRM databases after one year, even if the documents that reference them were not archived (Sales Orders for example).
    Does SAP have a "standard" solution for that? Wil using brute force and simply erasing the contents of the CCNUM fields in various tables work? Anybody did something like that in their system?
    Ron Herrmann

    Ron,
    I am not sure if you have found any standard solution for this problem. We have faced a similar issue in a recent internal audit. What we came up was a simple solution that may not be the most elegant but works just fine without compromising the integrity of the SAP system. You can replace all the real credit cards with dummy credit card numbers. Depending on the middleware product you are using, a small routine in ABAP needs to be written, which will decrypt the original cards, replace them with dummy cards that pass the Luhn check and re-encrypt them back. This retains the integrity of the SAP system and if you were to display the Sales order, it does not cause dumps. I hope this is helpful and should you need more details, please do not hesitate to reach me anytime at [email protected]

  • How do I remove credit card info from iTunes Store account?

    How do I remove credit card information from my iTunes account?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
