2792961 - Activity Plans do not delete Surveys or Tasks when the Routing Rules Conditions are not met anymore

Symptom

You have used an Activity Plan to automatically add a Survey (or Task) to a Business Object (i.e. a visit). After the Survey is added to a new visit, you change the conditions in the Activity Routing Rule so that the Activity Routing conditions are not met anymore for the recently created visit. Hence, you now expect that the Survey to be removed from the visit.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

The following steps are only an example. The same behavior can happen in other business objects.

  1. Go to the Activity Planner work center.
  2. Go to the Activity Plan view.
  3. Click New and Open.
  4. In the Surveys facet, add a survey.

  12. Edit the Visit so that it matches the conditions in your Activity Routing Rule.

Cause

Routing Rules only add surveys, do not delete them.

Resolution

It is a new requirement that the system checks all previously added surveys and delete the ones that have not been answered yet.

You can manually delete the survey clicking the bin icon if desired.
