Functionality
You can use this method to delete ratings for a business partner.
External service providers, government agencies, or departments withinthe company rate business partners for various business processes. Theratings take account of their payment history, credit standing, or othercriteria. The rating is calculated using a defined rating procedure andfor a specific validity period.
You can delete multiple rating results for each rating procedure.

Notes
You can delete only one record with ratings for each business partner.
A preprocessing run takes place before the data is changed:

• A check is performed to determine whether the business partner is
available for processing.

• A simple exclusive lock is activated.

This prevents other users from changing the business partner that iscurrently being processed until either the method TransactionCommit
or TransactionRollback for the Business ObjectBapiService is executed. The authorized user can access the samebusiness partner repeatedly.
The rating is not written to the database until the methodTransactionCommit for the Business Object BapiService hasbeen called.
