Deleting On-Demand Rules

You can delete on-demand rules that you no longer need. When you delete a rule, you should always select the option to include the deployed object as part of the deletion if the rule has been deployed.

If you do not select this option, the rule will be deleted from Calculation Manager, but still deployed in your application and you will no longer be able to edit it. If you want to remove the deployed rule, you must create a new rule with the same name in Calculation Manager. You deploy the new rule so that both Calculation Manager and your Financial Consolidation and Close are synchronized. Then you can delete the newly created rule from Calculation Manager.

If you delete a rule that is referenced in a Custom menu attached to a data form, when you edit the Custom menu, the rule name will be blank. If the Custom menu is used in a data form, when you open the data form, you will no longer see the menu option because no rule has been associated with the menu.

To delete on-demand rules:

1. Click the Navigator icon .

2. Under Create and Manage, click Rules.

3. Expand the "Planning" folder and navigate to the "FCCS Consol Rules" folder.

4. Select a rule, right-click and select Delete.

5. From the warning message, click OK to continue.

   Note:

   If the rule has been deployed, the system warns you that the some of the selected objects have been deployed. Select the option to include the deployed object as part of the deletion.

6. From the confirmation message that the rule was deleted, click OK.

7. To confirm that the rule was deleted from the list, right-click on the Rules folder, and click Refresh.
