Symptom
You have activated an Org Unit which is marked as Company but it is not possible to delete because of below error message:
Operation not possible; business partner creation already performed
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Organizational Management work center.
- Select Edit Org Structures under Common Tasks.
- Highlight the Org Unit required to be deleted.
- Select Edit Org Unit button and choose Delete.
Cause
Once an Org Unit is activated as a Company then it is not possible to delete it. As like with other master data entities, it is not supported to fully delete an Org Unit that has been a Company previously in the ByDesign product.
Resolution
Instead of deleting an Org Unit, the Org Unit can be delimited to have a Valid To date set to a date as early as possible and all referenced objects should be set to their obsolete/blocked statuses. This will effectively hide that obsolete company for day-to-day operations.
