Deleting a product

You can delete a product or policy line from PolicyCenter. For example, you can delete lines of business that you intend never to use. Before deleting a product, keep in mind that every product must have at least one policy line, and every policy line must be associated with at least one product.

Warning: Deleting a product or line of business can have unanticipated and unintended consequences. Guidewire strongly recommends that you fully understand the product model configuration before taking this action. For example, if you do not correctly remove references to a deleted policy line from your product definition, PolicyCenter cannot synchronize the product model at server startup. As a consequence, it can be impossible to start the server thereafter until the problem is corrected. For more information, see Product model immutable field verification.

Rather than deleting products and policy lines, consider using availability to set unwanted products to Unavailable. Doing so hides the product in the PolicyCenter Submission Manager as well as in other areas of the user interface.
