Cause
Data Destroy was supposed to remove regular non-marketing lead business partners.These business partners are activated via determination when created on the regular channels. It is rather the exception to have non-marketing lead business partners with status In Preparation. For that reason, Action Destroy didn't allow a precondition status of In Preparation.
Resolution
The solution is to set the status to obsolete before scheduling the removal run.
