## 13.5.2.2.6.1.2  Deletion of Personal Data for Report Shipping
SAP Information Lifecycle Management ( SAP ILM ) supports the entire software lifecycle including the storage, retention, blocking, and deletion of data.
Report Shipping uses SAP ILM to support the deletion of personal data as described in the following sections.
## Process Flow: Data Blocking and Data Destruction
1. Before blocking and deleting data in Report Shipping , define the residence times and retention periods in SAP Information Lifecycle Management in transaction ILM Policies ( IRMPOL ) for the EHS\_PS\_REPHIS\_DESTRUCTION ILM object.
2. To block data that match the residence times, run the program RC1\_REPHIS\_BLOCK to block report shipping orders of status Historical , Archived , or Rejected .
For more information, see the documentation of this program in the ABAP: Program Execution (transaction SA38 ).
3. To destroy data, proceed as described in the documentation of the data destruction object in Report Shipping .
See section Relevant Application Objects and Available Deletion Functionality for the relavant data destruction objects in Report Shipping .

## Integration: EoP Check for Customer Master and Vendor Master
In addition to blocking and deleting data of report shipping processes, Report Shipping provides an end of purpose (EoP) check to support the blocking and deletion of personal data of customer master (customer master data) and vendor master (vendor master data) that have been entered in Report Shipping .
The EoP check for Report Shipping is integrated in the following ILM objects of SAP ERP :
- FI\_ACCRECV (customer master data)
- FI\_ACCPAYB (vendor master data)
## EoP Check for Customer Master and Vendor Master
The end of purpose (EoP) check that has been implemented in Report Shipping determines whether a certain customer master or vendor master is used in table CVDDH ( EHS: Report shipping orders ) and is therefore still relevant for business activities in Report Shipping .
If a customer master or a vendor master is used as a recipient in a report shipping order, the system checks whether the business purpose has ended or is still in process. The EoP check then reports the status message No Business , Ongoing Business , or Business Complete to the customer master or the vendor master .
## Process Flow: EoP Check for ERP Customer Master and ERP Vendor Master
You can determine the EoP check for ERP Customer Master and ERP Vendor Master that are used in Report Shipping as follows:
- Run transaction ILM Policies ( IRMPOL ) and enter the required residence policies for the customer master data and the vendor master data (ILM objects FI\_ACCPAYB and FI\_ACCRECV ).
- Run transaction Block Customer &amp; Vendor Master Data ( CVP\_PRE\_EOP ) to enable the end of purpose check function for the ERP customer master and the ERP vendor master ( ERP\_CUST and ERP\_VEND ).
