3595270 - Error "Deletion not possible for record created by SAP" is displayed when deleting entries in an SSCUI/Configuration Activity

Symptom

When trying to delete an entry in an SSCUI/Configuration Activity, the system is displayed the following error message:

"Deletion not possible for record created by SAP."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

 

  1. Open the affected SSCUI/Configuration Activity
  2. Select the entries provided by SAP
  3. Try do delete the selected entries
  4. Error message is displayed

 

Cause

In any SSCUI/Configuration Activity, standard entries created by SAP cannot be deleted due to possible inconsistencies and compliance conflicts. This is the current system behavior.

Resolution

As the deletion of entries created by SAP is not possible, for the entries that won't be used, edit these entries with "DO NOT USE" in their name.

See Also

To check if an SSCUI/Configuration Activity supports the deletion of customer records, search for the affected SSCUI in file Configuration Activity.xlsm (SAP Customer) located in the Road Map Viewer under the Explore Phase and check the value for the "Delete Customer Records" field.

If the field has the "Deletion not supported" value, then customer created records also cannot be deleted.
