GOAL
How to end-date an applications user.

SOLUTION
There is no API or scripts to delete user accounts in FND_USER. Deletion of an an e-business suite user
account is not possible and not supported. The supported methods to disable an Applications User are:
1. To end-date the user account from the Define Users forms or using the following API :
FND_USER_PKG.UPDATEUSER you may pass an end date to the parameter X_END_DATE of the
procedure FND_USER_PKG.UPDATEUSER.
This will disable the user account.
The example below shows how to end-date custom user PIERRE:
fnd_user_pkg.updateuser
(x_user_name=>'PIERRE',x_owner=>'CUST',x_end_date=>SYSDATE);

x_owner can be either SEED or CUST:

To end date seeded users (i.e. sysadmin) x_owner= SEED
To end date custom users x_owner = CUST
2. To use FND_USER_PKG.DISABLEUSER API:
Pass the username as parameter. This will disable the user.

Note : After disabling a user, you can enable it by using the package FND_USER_PKG.EnableUser
