3349753 - Unable to Delete Logistics Area in a Location Hierarchy

The delete option is greyed out when trying to delete a Logistics Area in a Location hierarchy.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Supply Chain Design Master data work center.
2. Go to the Locations view and find relevant Site/Location ID.
3. Choose Edit Layout.
4. Select the relevant Logistics Area which needs to be deleted.
5. Here the delete option is disabled/grayed out.

Since the relevant Logistics Area is already Active, therefore the delete button is disabled.

Once a Logistics Area is activated for a planning area/site in a location hierarchy, it is not possible to remove it or make it inactive.

If the status is still "In Preparation" then it is possible to delete the Logistics Area from the hierarchy.

To disable unwanted Logistics Area, it is mandatory to mark it as either Blocked or Obsolete in the hierarchy. 

Note: Once the master data is created and status is Active, it is not possible to delete the data via the backend as well.

This is an expected behavior.
