Unable to delete Personnel Action Type: Delete dependent Action province/territory and try again

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a number of erroneous of inaccurate personnel action types in Human Resources > Setup > Actions > Personnel action types, that I would like to clean up. However, because of some previously "confirmed" actions in Human resources > Common > Actions > Position actions, I cannot remove them. I get the error: Personnel action types cannot be deleted while dependent Action province/territory exist. Delete dependent Action province/territory and try again.

 

I am not able to delete from HcmPositionAction, also because this might cause loss of application integrity? Is there a way to remove the "confirmed" actions so I can then delete the Personnel Action Type?

I've just start using the Human Resources module so I'm almost certain that there is no other dependent data. In the past, I've been able to Maintain Versions and delete the history related to an action under Worker Summary for instance. But I don't see that for the history of Personnel action types.

    I've read here that:

    Can I delete a personnel action?

    Yes, you can delete personnel actions that have a status of Draft, Error, Failed, or Canceled.

     


    However, is there a way to change the status of a "Complete" action?

    JV3,

    If you need to delete it, go to HcmActionState table in AOT. Change the ApprovalStatus to Draft for records with inaccurate personnel action types & delete them from HcmActionState table. Then try deleting the records from Human resources->Setup->Actions-> Personnel action types. You will be able to delete them. 

    Hope it helps!!! Post your results!!!
