STO with delivery completion indicator in ECC is still seen in APO

Hi Friends,

For some business purposes, we are short closing the STO with delivery completion indicator in ECC. This gets removed in ECC (Not seen in MD04).

However, the STO does not get removed from APO system. It is still seen in RRP3. Because of this, if there are any confirmations for this STO, it still holds this in  APO and will give wrong ATP situation.

Even, if we do CCR, it does not get removed from system.

(The only way is to delete the STO in ECC and then do CCR. But, in many cases Deletion is not desired- especially if there are any open activities for STO)

So, can you let me know, how to automatically get these (delivery completed) STOs removed from APO system?
