Deleting OVFS Components

If you do not need OVFS components that were set up, you can delete the components if you have the permissions to do so. The following table describes the OVFS and BI Publisher Layout Editor components that you can delete:

Component	Comments
Column Definition	You can delete a column definition if the column definition is not used in a statement definition. If the column definition is used in one or more statement definitions, you must remove the column definition from the statement definition before you can delete the column definition. Note that if you remove the column definition from the statement definition, you might make the statement definition invalid. See Validations for Sections in Statement Definitions
Row Definition	You can delete a row definition if the row definition is not used in a statement definition. If the row definition is used in one or more statement definitions, you must remove the row definition from the statement definition before you can delete the row definition. Note that if you remove the row definition from the statement definition, you might make the statement definition invalid. See Validations for Sections in Statement Definitions
Statement Definition	When you delete a statement definition, the system removes only the statement definition record from the OVFS Statement Definition Setup (F09330) table and removes the statement versions associated with the statement definition from the OVFS Statement Version Setup table (F09340). Deleting a statement definition does not delete the following components that are or might be associated with the statement definition: Row definitions Column definitions Statement layout created in the BI Publisher Layout Editor The system does not delete the layout if you delete the statement definition to which the layout is associated, but you cannot access the layout because you can only access layouts by first accessing the statement definition.
Statement Version	You can delete the statement versions using the Delete icon on the Work with Statement Versions form.
Layout	You can delete layouts in the BI Publisher Layout Editor. You must have access to the statement definition and version to which the layout is associated. If you delete a statement definition before you delete the layout, you cannot access the layout. You can access the financial statement layouts only by using the Manage Layouts option on the Work with Statement Versions form.
