1706334 - Is it Possible to Delete an Organizational Unit Which was Activated as a Company?

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

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Organizational Management work center.
2. Select Edit Org Structures under Common Tasks.
3. Highlight the Org Unit required to be deleted.
4. Select Edit Org Unit button and choose Delete.

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.

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.
