How to use UnLink Business Partner Org in iDempiere

The UnLink Business Partner Org Process removes the link between a Business Partner and an Organization by clearing the AD_OrgBP_ID field. Running it does not delete any record it only clears the relationship, keeping historical transactions and reporting intact.

Business Rules

• Only a Business Partner currently linked to an Organization can be unlinked.
• The process requires a valid Business Partner to run.
• Unlinking clears AD_OrgBP_ID only; the Business Partner and Organization records remain.
• A Business Partner already unlinked cannot be processed again.

Process Flow

Prerequisites

• Business Partner record configured and linked to an Organization (AD_OrgBP_ID set).
• Organization configured in the Application Dictionary.
• User role has access to run the UnLink Business Partner Org process.
