Overview

Deletes related entities that were previously generated by EAGenerateEntityFromEntityAction. Uses SQL queries to find target entities and safely removes them maintaining data integrity.

When This Action Runs

Manual execution or automated cleanup workflows to remove related entities when source entity changes. Processes single entity deletion based on SQL query results.

How It Works

1. Executes finder SQL query with parameter substitution ({fieldName} placeholders)
2. Loads first matching entity using specified target type
3. Performs business deletion through EntityMediator with validation rules
4. Handles cascade deletions and maintains transaction safety

Key Parameters

• Parameter 1: Target Type (Required) - Entity type name (e.g., "CreditNote", "PaymentVoucher")
• Parameter 2: Finder SQL (Required) - SQL query returning ID column of target entities

SQL Examples:

-- Delete credit note generated from invoice
SELECT id FROM CreditNote WHERE ref5Id = {id}

-- Delete journal entry from document
SELECT id FROM JournalEntry WHERE fromDoc_id = {id} AND fromDoc_type = '{entityType}'

Database Tables Affected

• Target Entity Tables - Complete entity record deleted including collections
• Audit Logs - Deletion events recorded
• Related Entities - May be affected by cascade rules
