You cannot delete activated type versions. You must first enable and activate a new type version, which automatically deactivates the current version. After the version is deactivated, you can delete it.

You cannot delete a deactivated type version if there are supplier catalogs that still contain the old, deactivated type version. In order to delete the old type version, you must identify the supplier catalogs that are using the old type version and revalidate them (thus revalidating them against the new type version) or delete them if they are no longer needed.

If the deletion fails and you are unsure why, go the the Server Manager workspace in Ariba Buyer Administrator and check the log files for more information.

1. Review the type version you have chosen to delete:
   • To view all versions of the type, click a link in the Type Subscription Name column.
   • To view any type errors or warnings, click a type's link in the Version column.
   • To view the type status history, click a type's link in the Status column.
   • To view the type contents, click the link in the # of Types column.
   • To view type versions that contain errors or require attention, click any red exclamation mark.
   • If available, click the Table Options icon, located in the row above the column headers, to display commands that control the display of data in the table. For example, you can hide or show columns of data, group data, or export data to Excel.
2. Select the check box and click Delete.
3. Click Type Home to return to the Type Definitions screen.
