- checkATP
- This parameter accepts the following values:
- true
- If the checkATP parameter is set to true, the command checks if the catalog
entry being deleted is the last catalog entry associated with a base item

The force option is only applicable to the catalog entry, not the inventory.

- If the checkATP parameter is set to false, no check is performed.
A time stamp will be appended to the part number of the base item or item specification associated with the catalog entry being deleted. They will not be deleted or marked for deletion.

Example 1

Example 2
The following example marks for delete catalog entry 10001:
http://host_name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogEntryDelete? catentryId=10001&force=0&URL=LogonForm
Behavior
- When the force parameter is set to 0, it will mark for delete the catalog
entry, and will also add a timestamp to the part number of the same catalog
entry.
- Either catentryId or partnumber is required.
- If the catalog entry is a product, then all its attributes, attribute values, and items will also be deleted or set to MarkForDelete. All description and inventory tables are cascade deleted.
Exception conditions
When the force option is set to 1, but the catalog entry is in the order item, then an error will be thrown. In this case, the catalog entry will not be deleted.
