Notes:

What's are the impact to delete any PA/PSA?

If you don't use it anymore, impact will be on historical data.  You can delete it in T501/T503 that won't have impact on historical P0001 records.
 

What's the impact if I don't have any active employees assigned to this PA/PSA, and only 1 inactive employee tagged to it 2 years back?

If you are still doing payroll for this employee (although inactive) you might get an error message there. 

If I was to do it, I would not delete the entry.  Rather add logic to perform checking so the users don't assign any new employee to this particular PERSG/PERSK.
