Inactive, deleted and soft deleted objects

Each object can be sent to SAP FSM with:

1. The following deletion-related properties:

inactive (false/true)
deleted (false/true)

2. Two different transaction type values:

C - Insert or Change
D – Delete

The difference between transaction type ‘D’ and property ‘deleted’ is that the first one is so to speak ‘hard deletion’/permanent deletion (including deletion of an entry in identifierMap table), while the property ‘deleted’ is ‘soft deletion’ – the deleted object can be recreated with its old GUID instead of creating a new one.

When transferring objects with sending programs, the ‘Delete’ flag corresponds to hard deletion and ‘Soft delete' to soft deletion.
