Standard configuration values in SAP system

Hi All

A frequent question that is laid out is what do we do in terms of standard values that SAP may have provided. Some of the examples are for customer groups or for additional data fields. These values that SAP provides are typically for illustration and may not be used in a customer environment.

The question raised is what do we do with the values that are not planned to be used ? It should be safe to remove the values from the configuration that are not required so that users do not see values that are not supposed to be used. However, if these are to be removed, we also need to ensure that all language dependent description tables are also cleansed as otherwise deleting a value from one language does not remove the values from the text table for other languages. That could be an issue since a deletion of a primary key should also result in the text tables to be updated. 

What does the forum think ? Do we retain standard values that are not required or is it better for user facing drop down values to be removed ? Some system control documents do not expect redundant values in the system as a part of the certification process. 

Would appreciate thoughts from fellow members

Hi,

if you remove a customizing entry also the language table entry normally gets removed.

Still you will have the SAP delivered standard customizing in client 000.

Question is what is the benefit in deleting those entries?

Besides the risk that they are possibly still used, which you normally have to find out within a complete test.

 

Kind regards

Robert
