Can I Delete an Info Record in SAP?

Yes, you can delete an info record in SAP. However, it's important to note that the deletion process is not immediate. Instead, info records are flagged for deletion and then periodically removed from the system by a system administrator.

How to Delete an Info Record in SAP

To delete an info record in SAP, follow these steps:

1. Open transaction ME15.

2. Enter the info record number in the field provided.

3. Click the "Display" button.

4. On the "Info Record" screen, select the "Environment" tab.

5. In the "Delete Flag" field, select "Yes".

6. Click the "Save" button.

The info record will now be flagged for deletion. It will not be immediately removed from the system, but it will be included in the next periodic deletion job run by a system administrator.

After Deleting an Info Record

After an info record is deleted, it can no longer be used to create purchase orders or other documents. However, the info record data is not completely lost. It is stored in a separate table and can be retrieved if necessary.

If you need to retrieve a deleted info record, you can use transaction ME12 with the "Display Deleted Records" checkbox selected.
