Deleting / Renaming personnel areas / subareas

Hi Mates,

Í have a scenario where I have to change the texts of some personnel area / subarea and get rid of ones which are obsolete now.

For the cases where I have to change the text of PA/PSA(code remains the same) :-

1. Since there is no delemition option, what's the impact on historical data - payslips, appraisal smart forms where psa is printed?

2. Is there any other impact?

For the case where I have to delete the PA/PSA:-

1. First of all is it advisable to delete any PA/PSA? What's the impact?

2. If not advisable, how do I stop users from using it? User exit?

I have no active employees assigned to this PA/PSA, and only 1 inactive employee tagged to it 2 years back.

Pls advice / share your experience.

Thanks

Allen
