Deletion of items (z30 records)

Question

Can items (z30 records) be deleted using a standard service? A list of affected items with Z30 record keys is available.

Answer

“Delete Item Records (item-11)“ can be used to delete items. The "Record Management" Delete option may delete HOL and BIB records which were connected to the items removed, and are now not in use by any item -- if the xxx01/tab/check_doc BATCH-DELETE lines permit such deletion. See also Knowledge base item 16384-9650.
