Question:
In EBP how do we delete a user from the org structure? I tried using tcode PPOSA_BBP, but the delete option is greyed out
Answer:
If the user is leaving the company you should delete the user from the web side under an administrator logon, never delete from the org structure.
If the user is going to come back at some point you can lock the user on the web also.
The reason you delete on the web is it removes all links the user has, and also means it can be recreated with the same naming if you wish.

Answer:
Thanks for the reply.
So does it mean that the user always remains in the org structure? I think only a certain number (around 200) users can be assigned to a org unit.
Answer:
No the user is deleted totally with no remaining links, it is removed from the org structure but only if you delete from the web if you do it in the gui the links remain and you cannot reassign the user at all and need to create a new user.

Answer:
Using SRM 5.5 you can execute transaction users_gen which has some nice new functionality which will effectively delete a user from all of the appropriate areas.
And i agree - you shouldn't try to muck with the org plan manually!

Answer:
When I try to delete the user from web using the tcode BBPUSERMAINT, I get the following error:
===============================================
Flow Execution Failed
Your request could not be processed by the module provider.
The module provide returned following error message: Exception condition "ERROR_DELETE" raised.

But using this tcode, I am able to lock the users and not able to delete. Can anyone please explain why this happens
