Deleting EPC Elements

After selecting this option a security prompt appears. Confirm with Delete to erase the element from your database:

If the element was linked to any other spots, then only the current element will be deleted from your work area. The linked elements remains intact.

If you are uncertain where else the selected element is used, open the context menu and select the option Cross Reference:

Click OK to close the pop-up.

Caution when deleting process steps out of a (productive) EPC

• Instances, which are situated in this process step can not be opened again after deletion. When trying to open an affected instance an error message will be displayed in the overview. The message contains name and ID of the deleted process step.

• Every function has its own ID in the database. A new function with the same name cannot therefore replace a deleted function.
