56.1 Deleting Business Units and Companies

Navigation

From General Accounting (G09), choose G/L Advanced & Technical Operations

From G/L Advanced & Technical Operations (G0931), choose Summarize & Purge Data

From Summarize & Purge Data (G09317), choose Delete Business Unit/Company

If you set up a test data environment that you no longer need, you can delete a business unit or company from this environment. When you delete a business unit or company the system does not copy information to a purge table. Rather, the system deletes business units or companies whether or not they contain any transactions.

The Delete Business Unit/Company program deletes transactions from the following tables:

• Account Master (F0901)

• Business Unit Master (F0006)

• Account Balances (F0902)

• Account Ledger (F0911)

After this process is complete you must:

• Delete the company on Company Numbers and Names

• Delete the company or business unit on Address Book Revisions

Caution:

If you are signed on to two environments, such as a test and an active environment, the system will delete the records from both.

Before You Begin

• Back up the Account Master, Business Unit Master, Account Balances, and Account Ledger tables

• Verify that there are no transactions in a business unit or company
