How to physically delete classification record from the database?

[Former Member]

we make change to classification data using engineering change management. It is possible to delete such classification record from the database once it has been processed using engineering change management? I know a lot BAPIs (BAPI_OBJCL_DELETE, LFM_DELETE_CLASSIFICATION etc) for deleting the classification. but the record is remaining existing in database. I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

I think you cannot delete the record physically, the assignment will only be set ( deletion indicator ).

thanks, i also got such information from google. But i'm little bit confused. Why does SAP allow to delete BOM using engineering change management and not for classification? what a motivation? there must be a way to restore the Object like the status before classification.

Not sure that this is possible, usually SAP set a deletion flag which allow archiving. So take a look at SARA or DB15 transaction once deletion flag are set, but usually archiving/deletion are only allowed when the main object behind is archived too.
