Symptoms

When deleting in Fluid UI an Expense Report transaction that has attachments uploaded into the File Server, the data gets deleted from the FIN Expenses main Records, but the file document(s) will remain in the File Server.

If the same transaction gets deleted in Online Classic pages, the attachments get removed from the File Server.

REPLICATION STEPS:

    1.- Log into the FSCM Online Application as an Expenses User
    2.- Go to the Employee Self Service Fluid Homepage, and click on Expenses Tile
    3.- Click on the Create Expense Report Tile
    4.- Enter a new Expense Report transaction, and upload a new file as an attachment
    5.- Save the changes
    6.- Check on the SFTP File Server, and confirm the file has been stored there
    7.- Go back to the Expenses Fluid Homepage
    8.- Click on the My Expense Reports Tile
    9.- Find the recently created Expense Report, and chose the related action of Delete Report
    10.- PROBLEM: Confirm that while the Expense Report has been purged from the main FIN Expenses Records, the file uploaded is still present in the SFTP File Server

To gather more information concerning this scenario and its related problem, refer to the available Replication Steps PDF Document here linked containing the complete configuration and the replication steps necessary to reproduce the problem.

Orphan attachment documents are being left in the SFTP File Server, occupying storage space.

Fluid User Interface should behave the same as Online Classic, and when an Expense Report is deleted, regardless from which page, all its related attachment documentation should be purged from the system's File Server.
