Deleting IDOCs

Why we cannot directly delete IDOC from database? Is it mandatory to use transaction SARA for deleting ?

Hi

We cant give access to user to directly delete from IDOC table( EDDIC, EDDID etc ) and IDOC data is not saved only in one table ..header, item and other details are saved in different tables.. so its good to use standard transaction.. but yes, if there is a need you can use FM to change , delete IDOC data..

You can use transaction WE11 to delete IDocs without archiving.
