Which action with an existing configuration object will NOT create a D record in the database?

The action of deleting the configuration object will not create a D record in the database because, in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP), a D record typically signifies a deletion of an active record. When a configuration object is deleted, the system does not create a new record; instead, it marks it as deleted, effectively removing it from the active configuration. The record remains in the database for historical tracking, but the process does not involve creating a new D record that represents a deliberate change.

In contrast, actions like modifying an active record or modifying an inactive record do lead to changes that necessitate the generation of D records to document the transitions or updates made. Generating any new object also creates corresponding entries in the database to reflect the new configurations being added. Therefore, deleting an existing configuration object distinctly differs from these actions as it does not initiate the creation of a new record in the database, aligning with the nature of D records and their management within the SAP IBP system.
