3759758 - Master Data Deletion and Selective Purge of Business Partner Data in SAP Sales and Service Cloud Version 2

Symptom

You want to delete all Business Partner master data (Accounts, Contacts, Individual Customers, Partners, Leads, and related records) from an existing SAP Sales Cloud / SAP Service Cloud Version 2 tenant while retaining the same tenant and URL due to existing integrations.

You would like to know:

  • Whether SAP provides a supported backend process or tenant reset option for selective master data deletion
  • Whether any standard tools, utilities, or purge jobs are available for this requirement
  • Recommended alternatives if selective deletion is not supported

Environment

Sales and Service Cloud Version 2.

Resolution

Selective deletion or backend purge of Business Partner master data while retaining the same tenant and tenant URL is currently not supported in SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Service Cloud Version 2.

  • There is currently no backend SAP operation, tenant reset activity, or selective master data purge process available for this requirement.
  • No delivered SAP tools, scripts, migration reset utilities, or backend purge jobs exist to selectively remove BP master data while preserving the tenant.
  • Mass deletion through backend-supported purge activities is not applicable for this scenario.
  • Typical restrictions apply because master data may have dependencies with:
    • Relationships
    • Historical transactions
    • Attachments/documents
    • Activities/tasks
    • Cases/opportunities
    • Other dependent business objects

Recommended Workaround

Since selective backend purge is not supported, and Master data clean up only is not supported the recommended approach is:

  • Use an un provisioned tenant within the customer landscape.
  • Perform a configuration copy from the existing tenant to the new tenant without copying master data.
  • Validate the new tenant and all integrations.
  • Decommission the previous tenant.
  • Provision the new tenant for productive or test usage.
