How do you clear elimination records for parent members that have been cleared/removed but cannot be deleted due to existing elimination data?
Answer
The data is stored in the intersection even when the parent is removed.
To clear the data, you would need to put the children back under the parent, run a DM job to clear data that is for E#[YourTopParent].DescendantsInclusive and T#[YourApplicableYear].DescendantsInclusive and then force consolidate.
This will clear the elimination data for the parent (but also the data for the children entities).
Then, the parents can be deleted/removed as needed.
Note: There is a pending update to the product to address this in a future release.
