Deleting a location can impact measure data and view structures. Deleting a location removes all measure data associated with the location from the database. Deleting a location invalidates data, and submeasure, hierarchical, and location definitions. Invalid data and definitions affect the overall structure of your database.
The list of parent locations can help you predict the implications of deleting a location. To preserve a location structure, reassign the parent locations and sublocations of the location which you plan to delete.
A location with initiatives cannot be deleted. First, remove initiatives from the measure at the location to delete, or move the initiatives to another measure.
