Hello,

Hard delete of the Vendor Master Data is not recommended.

Once you have marked the vendors for deletion in XK06 transaction, you can then archive the vendors with SARA object FI_ACCPAYB in 3 steps.

1. Run for purchasing org data.
2. Run for company code data.
3. Run for general data.

System will check if the vendor is used in any document. if that is the case, then you have to archive these data first.

For more details, please refer to link: https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/EN/01/a9b65c455711d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Are you updating some test or quality system or are you purging some obsolete/errouneous data in a production system. OBR2 is intended to clean-up some initial (before golive) or replicated (development or quality system) FI and CO data, and not suitable in a productive system.

So in second case use David Liu solution

1. set deletion flag (XK06, FK06)
2. archive data (SARA)
3. delete data (SARA)

Hint: In SARA transaction, click on database table, and display every object related to the table you want to clean.
