Hey,

Deletion in SAP is not easily possible. That's is the reason, so much attention is given while creating such masters. Most of the masters in SAP can only be flagged for deletion i.e. you don't move it out.

To move out from database, you need to perform Archiving. It's a separate function, which is performed, servers handling the archival data are different.Accessing the archived data is also different. Once you archive, the flagged for deletion items are essentially moved and you don't see them in your regular servers.

As of now, you can only flag them for deletion. I hope this explanation makes things clear.
