## Available Check
Implemented Solution: End of Purpose Check
The following points are checked in the system:
- Checks whether an item belonging to this customer exists
- Checks that at least one parked document or fully saved document exist for this customer
- Checks whether a recurring entry original document exist that refers to the customer
- Checks whether a link to a vendor is maintained in the master record of the customer, and whether the clearing between the customer and vendor is active
- Checks whether the customer is used as an alternative payee
- Checks whether at least one saved document for this customer exists in the cash journal
If one of the points mentioned above doesn't apply, the system doesn't lock the customer. If these points don't apply, the system determines the last payment that was made for this customer and uses it as a reference date for the retention rules that are defined in ILM Customizing.
## Configuration: Simplified Blocking and Deletion
