Deletion of Generation Variant

Former Member — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:53:51 GMT

Hi all,

I want to delete physicaly a generation variant from the table ESTLP but I don't find any program/function module that enable this possibility.

I deleted my Generation Variant in CG02 transaction. It put the Deletion Flag indicator to "X" in the table ESTLP but I can't create a new Generation Variant with the same name ...

Does any one know how to delete it physically (without an edit in SE16N) ?

Thanks for yout help.

Regards.

Antoine

Hi Antoine,

Generation Varient is a Master Data and as per general standard of SAP, there is no procedure to delete the Master Data indeed we can set flag of deletion indicator for that master data so that it will not get used.

Thus, Gen Varient can not be deleted physically unless and until you adopt a crude methold with the help of ABAP consultant to remove the entry direclty from table, which is not at all advisable by SAP.

Hello Antoine

Run RC1PHDEL program which will delete EHS Master Data flagged with Deletion Indicator. Read Program documentation before running the program as it will also delete other data.
