2044282 - Is It Possible to Delete Suppliers?

Symptom

Is it possible to Delete Suppliers Master data?

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Partner Data work center
  2. Go to Suppliers view

There is no option to Delete the Suppliers.

Cause

Suppliers is Master data. Master Data once created cannot be deleted even if it is not used in any business documents.

Resolution

The only option is to Block or Obsolete the status of the Suppliers.

Note:

Currently, system does not allow multiple selections on the Suppliers OWL to Change Status to Active/Obsolete/Blocked. This is the system behaviour.
