Delete residual tree and territory data from the application after deleting trees or nodes in Tree Manager. |
Access the Tree Maintenance (Tree Manager, Tree Utilities, Copy/Delete Tree, Tree Maintenance) and Tree Structure Maintenance (Tree Manager, Tree Utilities, Copy/Delete Tree, Tree Structure Maintenance) pages in Tree Manager.
See PeopleTools: Tree Manager product documentation.
Using Tree Manager, you can delete nodes from a tree or delete an entire tree. Tree Manager does not, however, delete the territory data associated with trees or nodes across applications. This residual territory data still exists in PeopleSoft Sales and can be included in prompt lists as if actively assigned to a tree. For example, you might delete the node for the Western territory, but the Western territory and its data still exist. You must delete this residual territory data from PeopleSoft Sales by using the Delete Territory page.
Use the Delete Territory page (RSF_TR_DEL_TREE) to delete residual tree and territory data from the application after deleting trees or nodes in Tree Manager.
