Delete trace links

Caution If the defining or complying object for a trace link you attempt to delete is included in a baseline structure, you may be prevented from deleting the trace link. If this is the case, an error message appears. The message is based on the value set for the Fnd0PreventTraceLinkDelete business object constant. The constant setting prevents deletion of trace links to the released object revision/ it does not prevent deletion of trace links to other occurrences of the object. Therefore, you can still delete trace links on other object occurrences in the baseline structure. In case of trace links on occurrences, if the context line BOM view revision is released, an error message is displayed according to the above values of the Fnd0PreventTraceLinkDelete constant. You can use the following procedure to delete trace links from one or more occurrence or absolute occurrence objects at a time.

Procedure In the Trace Links view, select the trace link to delete.

Note For absolute occurrence objects, you must select the trace link in the correct context. Click Delete Trace Link on the view toolbar, or choose Delete Trace Link from the view menu. In the Delete dialog box, click Yes. If the trace link has custom notes, the Delete dialog states the trace link has custom notes. The trace link is deleted from the latest revision of the occurrence or absolute occurrence object.

Tip If trace link icons are not removed from the primary view, refresh the icon display by doing one of the following: On the Trace Links view toolbar, click Associate this ‘Secondary’ view to a different ‘Primary’ view, and then select another primary view. Close the Trace Links view, and then open a new one. You can select an object in the primary view and choose View→Show Trace Links. Or, you can double-click the icon in the Trace Link column for an object. Press F5 to refresh the Trace Links view.
