Can anyone explain what exactly is a process of business partner deletion? We are sort of provided with ILM from S/4HANA Cloud
but at the same time we don't have necessary apps properly functioning. For example, blocking apps do not work due to missing authorizations, because necessary roles or role templates are not provided as it should be according to SAP note 2942367.
Has anyone ever deleted a business partner in SAP Marketing Cloud?
Request clarification before answering.
Hi mariss.,
Has anyone ever deleted a business partner in SAP Marketing Cloud? -> Yes we have successfully deleted Business Partner in MC not long ago.
First of all you have to activate two scope items in MC:
XX_62Y (Data Protection and Privacy)
XX_1KA (Information Lifecycle Management)
Regarding the business role you need the following business catalog: SAP_CMD_BC_MD_BLOCK_PC.
Important apps in the process:
- ILM Policies
- ILM Audit Area
- Block Master Data – Business Partner
- Manage Archiving Variants
- Monitor Archiving Jobs
I hope this was helpful for you!
Kind Regards,
Katharina

You have to make a difference between blocking, archiving and deleting BP.
First, you block BP using the "Scheduling Block Business Partners" or "Block Master Data - Business Partner" App. Then you archive them using the "Manage Archiving Variants" App. After that, they are automatically deleted from the system after a certain time.
Yes, I tried to "delete" all BP from the system at once.
For this I had defined the intervall of the number range of all our BP in the system.
But the number range was always too large for the apps. Therefore I had to split it into several smaller intervalls of number ranges.
our jobs were not running as scheduled, because some technical setup by SAP was not done. Now we have archiving jobs running, but they are not picking up anything. Can you please tell your entries in ILM policies?
We have assigned CA_BUPA object to audit area BUPA_DP and for that have added one policy for retention and one for residence. I have a feeling that there something is not correct.
Regards,
Maris
Hi mariss.:
look at: SAP Notes - SAP for Me
For Residence Rules we set the Application Name "BUP", the Residence Period "1", Unit "Day", Time Ref. "Start of Retention Period".
For Retention Rules we set Partner Cat. "1" to "3", Min. and Max. Retention Period "0", Unit "Day", Time Ref. "Start of Retention Period".
You need to make sure that both have the policy status "live". And assign both (BUPA_DP) via "ILM Audit Area" to CA_BUPA_ADD and CA_BUPA.
After that you can use the App "Block Master Data - Business Partner".
Kind Regards,
Katharina
So you go to the App "Manage Archiving Variants" and set up a new one.
For Details you have to set:
- Collumn 9 Partner (the BP-ID you want to archive)
- General Data: X
- Recalculate Sort Details: X
- Action Archiving
And then press "Schedule Archiving". After 7 Days the BP should be archived. You can monitor it via "Monitor Archiving Jobs".
Hello mariss.,
Long time. Hope all well.
There's no way to do so in SMC you may reachout to SAP under CEC-MKT-BF.
But, I would like you to refer to this thread - https://answers.sap.com/comments/13639711/view.html
Thank you.

I saw all of earlier threads discussing this topic, but none of them have a clear answer to a question "Why there are all the necessary apps available and how to use them"?
Especially since it is mentioned in SAP help that we can schedule "Archiving jobs", but that requires blocking which does not work. Very confusing.
Hello mariss.,
Yes, this is a confusing topic, better submit a ticket to SAP under CEC-MKT-BF.
Thank you.
