Deleting Business Partner

Hi, everyone:
We just transitioned to SAP and, well, our trainer was UNhelpful to say the least.
So, I have a question.
Is there a way to delete a business partner from the BP master data if they have no account activity? Say someone added "Cat Store" to the BP list, and someone else added "Cat Store, Inc." to the BP list. They're the same store, same everything, just duplicated. Is there a way to delete one of the duplicate accounts if there has been no activitity on that account ever?
Thanks!

Jason,
The forum that you posted your question in is for questions related to the SAP Business One SDK and development using it. If you have these types of questions, you are in the right forum. If you have application type questions with respect to SAP Business One, you would want to post those on the SAP Business One Discussion Forum at ...
http://cpsn-channel.sap.com/businessoneforum
as this forum is for application questions.

Hi,
Is there any easy way that I can delete my business partner master data without using the back end? I had uploaded a wrong business partner data. And if ever I'm going to do it in back end, will there be an effect on my database. I don't have any transactions yet.
Thanks,

Hello Raja,
Have you checked and implemented the following notes (check they are correct for your release and sp level)
BUPA_DEL
SAP Notes:
893900 Report for inconsistencies b/w BUT000 & relationships
1383199 BUPA_DEL: Fatal error stops deletion process
1393366
1111635
Apoloigues for the list of notes but it seems any inconsistency in details for the business partner may block the deletion and there are many corrections linked to this transaction.
Hope the above help,
Paul

Can't delete business partner

I have a new business partner that I need to delete. The bp has no transactions activity, but when i try to delete it I get an error msg "Business partner you are trying to change is linked to an item". I have looked at all my items in OITM and none have this vendor assigned as the preferred vendor. Where else might there be a link between a vendor and item.

Hi Robert ,
Quick way to troubleshoot your system , use drag and relate to see if any transaction was done .
Hope this helps

Delete Business Partner Text

Hi All,
I wish to delete a text object on a business partner. I have tried using the FM 'DELETE_TEXT' and it is causing me issues.
Is there anyother way I can delete this text object?
Many Thanks,
Colm

Hello Colm,
You have to fill SAVEMODE_DIRECT parameter with 'X'.
An example:
CLIENT = 010
ID = 0001
LANGUAGE = PT
NAME = PT10000000
OBJECT = BUT000
SAVEMODE_DIRECT =X
Kind regards.

Bad performance when deleting business partner in CRM

Hi,
we try to delete 1.7 million partner in our CRM system.
Our System has :
SAP_BASIS 620 0057 SAPKB62057
the database is ORACLE
For the deletion we use the report BUPA_TEST_DELETE with packages of 1000 partners each.
We have that the update processes need too much time during deleting the changedocuments of the adresses objectclass 'ADRESSE2' and 'ADRESSE3' by the function CHANGEDOCUMENT_DELETE_V2.
When we try the same in our ECC 5.0 (SAP_BASIS 640 0015 SAPKB64015) with an DB2 database we don´t have the same problem.
Can anybody help us to solve the problem.
Many thanks.
Best regards.

Thanks for the answer.

Deletion of Business Partner from tcode "BP"

Hi!
I set up ChaRM functionality and have the problem that for one existing Business Partner
from tcode "BP" the error message comes up:
The current business partner does not have a vald assignment to change Request Manager or Organization.
Therefore I would like to delete this value from tcode BP and recreate them.
Question
Does anyone know how to delete business partner from tcode "BP"?
Are there some report, functional module, etc. for this approach?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom Heinemann

Hi!
When I try tp delete a business partner by usage of tcode "BUPA_DEL" I get the warning that this business partner will be used in some transactions.
Therefore I closed all the messages with theis assignment.
Unfortunately when I start CRM_DNO_MONITOR I see that some service desk messages with this business partner still exist, bu are closed.
Question:
What is the report or tcode to delete all the closed Service Desk messages?
Thank you very much!

Delete external business partner number range

Hi SRM gurus
We have implemented a BADI to prevent vendors of certain acct. group from rpelicating to SRM from R/3. Now we want to change the number range of business partner in SRM, which is external no. range. I want to confirm can we delete the external no. range and create a new external no. in SRM under the navigation, will it cause any side effects. SPRO->cross apllication->SAP Business partner->Busniess partner ->number ranges and groupings.
Preste no. range is
400000 - 600000 (PO) external
700000 - 1000000 (XI) external
I want to delete the PO no. range and create a no. range for XI which will look like:
400000 - 1000000 (XI) external.
with regards
Manjunath

Hi
To avoid the problem of data loosing, pl setup number ranges as follows:
Menu: SPRO --> Cross-Application Components → SAP Business Partner → Business Partner → Basic Settings → Number Ranges and Groupings → Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges
Maintain both internal numbers and external number ranges here. The external number range should correspond with the R/3 vendor number range. Then you will not have a problem of data loosing.
You have another configuration point in SRM that enable you to define number range by backend for PO, RS and RQ.
Please read the configuration help taht give you an example in transaction SPRO.

SAP ISU- Business Partner

Hi All,
I have a couple of queries more pertaining to SAP ISU Business Partner which are as below:
1.Can we delete an exiting Business Partner?If yes, how do we do it?Or is it only marked for deletion.In that case,Can we see a report to view all existing BP and BP marked for deletion?
2.Can we lock an exisiting BP?For example, a BP was created but was not used for any purpose.Can we lock the BP so that nobody can use it accidentally?
Look forward to your responses.
Thanks
Amitav Otta

Hi Amitav,
You have the possibility to delete temporary business partners that are no longer needed, or business partners that were loaded into a system by mistake without archiving these data records beforehand.
In this way the volume of data is reduced and performance is improved
You have two different possibilities to delete business partners from your database.
1.One step procedure
Using the transaction Deletion of business partners (BUPA_DEL), you can remove business partners from your system
a)that you select using the business partner number
b)that have been given a deletion or archiving flag
c)that have the system status deletable
You can also carry out a test run.
2.Two step procedure
a.) In preparation for the delete operation, you can first determine the data records for deletion and set the relevant system status using the transaction Set deletion or archiving flag (BUPA_PRE_DA).
b.) Following this, you carry out the actual delete operation using the transaction Deletion of business partners (BUPA_DEL). You should have set the flag deletable as the parameter.
In both cases it is checked beforehand whether the business partners intended for archiving are still being actively used in the system. These checks are defined in the BDT event DELE1. You can also define other checks here.
You can only delete business partner data records as a whole. It is not possible to delete only certain data of business partners.
You have the possibility to delete user-defined tables. To do this you must define function modules for the BDT event DELE2.
The business partners removed from the system, as well as the business partners that are still being used and that cannot be deleted, are recorded in an application log.
In order to evaluate the log, choose the transaction Evaluate application log (SLG1) and enter the object BDT_DATAARCHIVING and the sub-object CA_BUPA.

External business partner number generation

Hi all,
Our client has the following requirement:
Business partner numbers must be generated according to certain rules, which cannot be replicated using standard number ranges.
My option is to define a single external number range, and then implement an algorithm that generates BP number. However, I'm not being able to identify where I can make this implementation. I have tried to find a user-exit or a BADI in order to do this, but I wasn't successful.
Can anyone help me identifying an exit or a BADI for Business Partner master data?
Thanks in advance.

Joã

Business partner deletion - master data

In SAP Note 1111635 -Business partner cannot be deleted
try to delete a business partner or a contact person. This is not
possible bcoz address cannot be deleted because there are other references .
1) deletion of the address, because it used to be used as a sender or recipient for
e-mails, faxes and so on .
If we use address within BUSINESS COMMUNICTION SERVICES   (BCS )
the system writes a where-used list for this address.This reference is a link between the address and the sent document. We can only delete the address when this link no longer exists.
HOW DO WE DELETE THE LINK BETWEEN ADRESS AND THE SENT DOCUMENT   ?
In SAP Note 556538 - Archiving business partner for the employee role
Business partners in the employee role are linked to an object called the
central person. This object originates from the HR-PD framework and is used
to integrate the business partner with the HR-PD framework. The central
person does not have an archiving function. Only the business partner can
be archived. However, the business partner has the employee role and is
thus linked with a central person (and therefore cannot be archived).
HOW DO WE REMOVE THE LINK BETWEEN BUSINESS PARTNER u2013ROLE , EMPLOYEE AND CENTRAL PERSON   ??

Hello Jorgito,
Without deleting transactional data. I guess you mean without deleting all the data from de cubes. But you want to get rid of the transactional data of BP type "C".
Go to the manage screen of the cube involved.
Go to the tab 'Contents'
click on the button 'Selective Deletion' (right-side at the bottom)
On the pop-up click on the button 'Delete selections'
Fill in type 'C'
Start the job.
I hope this will help you.

If you have created a Sales Quotation or for that matter any document for the Business Partner you are trying to delete, you cannot delete the Business Partner from the database.
As transaction and document is linked to the BP, then you cannot delete it.
