3536755 - Unable to Delete Background Element in Manage Business Configuration

Symptom

Though we have deleted the background element from Succession Data Model, still this background appears under Manage Business Configuration with status "disabled".

Can we fully delete specific background element?

Environment

Employee Profile

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a new background element in SAP SuccessFactors.
  2. Attempt to delete the background element from succession data model.
  3. Check Manage Business Configuration and find if that background element still exists but only with status "disabled" and greyed out.

Cause

This is the current system behavior.

Resolution

Currently we are not able to totally remove the background element from Manage Business Configuration but only "disable" this element.
