Symptom
You are unable to remove the existing lines of the set process control as the button is grayed out.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Master Data view.
- Select Companies subview.
- Select the company id line and click Set Process Control tab.
Upon selecting the old lines for which the Entry Possible Until is expired or before the current date then for such lines the Remove button is grayed out.
Cause
If the Set Process Control line is no more valid, then it is not allowed to be removed by system.
Here, validity indicates that the set process control line settings cannot be applied by the system for the current operational postings.
Resolution
In the Set Process Control Screen, Under the General tab if you choose the show as 2 - Relevant for today, then it will list all the set process control settings which are valid and based on those settings the system performs certain postings to allow or not to allow postings.
This is the line which is valid, hence you will be able to remove only this line which is valid, those lines which are expired/overwritten will anyway not influence in the posting of the documents.
Note: To know if the set process control is valid or not, choose show as 2 - Relevant for today & also check Entry Possible Until dates to see if it is valid for the current date and if valid then you will be able to remove the settings because for all the valid lines, the remove button is enabled to delete the row.
