SAP data deletion: remove obsolete data without risking compliance
Outdated records and data tied to divested units need to go safely, traceably, and in line with regulation.
- Use cases
- Divestitures, audits, S/4HANA pre-migration cleanup
Why delete
Legacy data slows systems down and raises audit risk
Unnecessary data in an SAP landscape adds storage and processing overhead, and creates compliance exposure under GDPR and similar frameworks.
SAP data deletion is the precise, secure removal of records that no longer belong in the system, carried out so they cannot be recovered.
- Deletion at company code level after mergers or carve-outs
- Cleanup of unused materials and legacy master data
- Deletion documented for GDPR and audit requirements
