# Equipment: Private Edition Differences

> What differs for equipment on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, per recorded release: operations not offered, longer fields, partner rows that cannot be deleted, numbers with leading zeros.

> **Draft brief for authors.** GENERATED from the edition matrix, per recorded release (2020 FPS02 to 2021 FPS02 and later).

**Differences:** Activate, Deactivate, Set and Reset Deletion Flag not offered by the recorded releases; Material and Construction Type up to 40 characters (18 in the Public Edition); equipment partners cannot be deleted; the equipment number is written with leading zeros; what applies only once your release is identified exactly.
