SAP-FICO: 6 Steps for Deleting Recurring Entries

SAP - Delete Reference documentsRecurring entry documents in SAP can be tricky. Setting them up, figuring out the intervals, stopping them…you can easily get lost. Here is the 2 part process, a total of 6 steps, for deleting documents that you’ve already got set up.

Part 1 is to set the delete indicator in the recurring entry data section of your document. Part 2 is to run the delete reference documents program.

  1. Goto “Change Recurring Document” - T-code: FBD2
  2. Enter the document number and hit enter. You should now see your entry like this:

You should get a report back showing what was deleted or what could be deleted (if you left Test checked). If you don’t see anything, you one of the following may be going on:

  1. Wrong fiscal year, document number, or company code
  2. Delete indicator not set properly in FBD2
  3. It’s already deleted!

That’s it. Happy deletions!
