Mass deletion of PO

Question

Hi Experts,
There ar many PO's in initial bucket of SNP plannig book....almost for all the componants in testing system.
In order to improve system performance, we want to reduce those numbers.
for the same, we have to delete many Purchase Orders from the system.
Is there any way to multiple deletion of PO's? or setting deletion indicator to all the line items of PO's in all the tables?
or, do we need to develope sepearte program for it?
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
Thanks!
Jay

Hi Jayprakash,
Since the Purchase Orders are created in R/3, you need to delete them in R/3 (ECC).
You can either create a Z program, or use standard transaction MASS.
Use following steps:
T-code - MASS
Input object type for Purchase Orders and execute.
Selecte Purchase Order Header and execute.
In the subsequent screen, input Purchase Order numbers and execute.
In the next screen, select "deletion indicator" and put "L" for deletion.
You can save variant in all steps, except the last one, since you need to input PO numbers.
This way you can even remove the deletion indicator of previously deleted order.
The flow is simple and quick, however, if deletion is regular one, you need to either save variants or create Z program which will serve purpose.
