Archiving Material Master Record
Hi Friends,
I have marked few materials flagged for deletion by transaction code MM06. Then in transaction code MM71, I create a variant, then maintained the variant, then I gave the start date, spool request and execute. The system shows a message "New Archiving job was sheduled". After the scheduled time, I selected "Job Overview" and the status of the job is "Finished".
But after this when I go to MM02 or MM03, system allows me to change/display the material. Its not permanently deleted from the database.
Please help me in identifying if any step is wrong or not.
Thanks & Regards
Satya
Hi Ajay,
I clicked on the job number and then clicked on spool. The status of the spool is "waiting". When I double click on the status, the status text is "Front end not available".
And when I go to job log, it gives the message as given below.
21.01.2008 17:26:21 Job started
21.01.2008 17:26:21 Step 001 started (program MMREO050N, variant MM1, user ID MM_CONS)

Archiving the Material Master
Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.
Archive a Material Master Record
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (for example, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.
Some of the archive error log message :-
Costing data exists
Use in routing
Use in sales and distribution
Use in bill of material
Delivery exists
Costing data exists
Info record exists
Purchase order exists
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.

Hi guys,
Sorry maybe this is not a correct place!
But i dunno where to ask
My functional doing archive material master using (SARA), and some material can, some can't. After i browse from internet it's said can't archive is because that material still got dependency like Purchase info records must be archive first, etc.
And until now he still blame that the program that run the job (auto generated by SAP) got errors, why morning can now can't and the funny things what he try the material in the morning and now is different material
So, need your guys hint
can we just see the exactly what the problem/error why let say material A can't be archive (maybe still got Purchasing Info records) or some error like that!
Best Regards,

Activities to be done before a Material Master record archiving
I read that "before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived". How can I see which objects these are and the dependencies between them?
What other activities should be done before a Material Master record archiving?
Thank you very much!go SARA
enter MM_MATNR
click the button for NETWORK (first position in application toolbar)
SAP will show you all objects that you need to take care with archiving before you can archive a material.
You can execute a test run for archiving, and SAP will tell you in the error log, what dependencies a specific material has.
Before your archive, make sure you have the most recent OSS notes applied. -
Hello Friends,

Thanks,
KumarHi Kumar,
If a purchase order, Open production order or any other Dependency exists for the material, Material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason will be given in the log the log also contains technical data. check all dependencies for the materials and up on clearing them flag the materials for deletion first and then Archive them.

Delet Material Master Record but not the range
HI experts,
I have more material master records in production data base; now i need to delete them but at the same time don't remove the range numbering.
I.E.
there are 10 master record with range number from 1 to 10.
now, deleting these 10 master records, i would like to avoid that the numbering starts from 11.
thanks in advance
C.Hi Jurgen,
I've gone through the data archiving project in the past. I was actually hoping I don't have to go through this big exercise for this minor situation.
The storage locations in the SAP system are fine. The problem is that when I came in to this organization, I found out that the procurement users have accidentally extended material master record to those storage location irrelevant to them. Those users don't post any stock to those accidentally extended storage location. They admit that it was a mistake. So, I don't really have to do stock movement or GI out from those affected storage location because there's nothing in them.
Now that I've initially flag for deletion (MM06) of those mistakes done by those procurement users over the few years counting to 2000+ material master records affected. But the standard behavior of the SAP system allows change to proceed in MM02 except for that warning message MM081. So, I was actually asking around to explore if there's actually an option to make it an error prompt instead and stop the whole change process at MM02 transaction level.
If I may re-confirm, what I've done so far via flaging for deletion of material master record at storage location level - is this the only correct solution available?
Hope this clarifies my intention of opening this thread. Sometimes, users are quite tough in accepting the results from standard SAP system behavior.
Thanks for the time in explaining.

Material Master Record - How to remove or delete storage location
Dear all,
Is there a way to remove or delete a storage location accidentally extended via MM01 due to extending the general plant view?
I've tried the following:
1. I've used MM06 to flag the particular storage lcoation for deletion. However, when go to MM02 and select the plant view, the storage location that already been flag still exist for selection. I only get the warning prompt "The storage location has been flag for deletion".
2. I tried MMSC attempt to delete and I get either messages with different material master record:
a) "Material not fully maintained for this transaction/event"
OR
b) "Storage location 60BF already exists and cannot be deleted"
P/S: If this question has been asked before by others, please point me to that thread.
I'm grateful for any suggestion. Thanks.

Delete a Material Master Record Permanently from R/3 4.7
We have a requirement to delete certain material master records permanently from our R/3 4.7 system. We have already archived all the relevant material master documents using SARA and are now trying to delete the material permanently using SARA but are unable to do so as the program is finding archive entries in MARI and prevents the material from being permanently deleted.
Is there a way to remove records from MARI so that we can delete the material master record permanently.
Thanks in advance.
SamirIt looks like transaction MMDE cannot be used for deleting only a certain set of materials. It is setup to delete all the materials.
Is there a way to delete only a certain set of materials permanently from the client?

How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record?
Hi guys,
Pls help me 2 flowing problem:
1. How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record? And all case need to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record.
2. How to use customer material number if there isn't Master Data
ThanksHi Friend,
I dont think we can go with a sales order with a material without material master record.
But there are some cases where in we can create a sales order by entering a material which does not have a material master.
1. Through material determination
You can create a material determination for a material (1234) which exists in sap by a material(XYZ) which does not; For example in VB11 you can create a material determination for a material 1234 ( exists in sap) through a material XYZ which does not exists in sap.
While creating the sales order when you enter the material XYZ is not give any error and automatically determine the material 1234 which exists.
2. Text material
We can create a order/quote by directly entering a text in the material description and without entering the material. This the case for text material wherein text item category will be determined.
Please let me know if this help you. Else kindly elaborate the scenario.

Mass update of huge list of Material master records
Hi dudes,
I want to update 1 field for the huge list of material master record, i.e., statistics field in sales org 2 tab.
please help
regards,
madhavSAP has designed its system to use the standard transaction way to update any fields, no direct table update should be made.
I have seen so many direct table updates in my career, and what do you think why I have get knowledge about that?
Because it was done incorrectly.
There are that many dependcies in SAP, you never really know them all.
People changed (or deleted entries) in one table, but forgot the update in a second dependend table.
You should be a very experience consultant before you may consider direct table updates, and when you became an experience consultant, then you know that you will not do that. -
Re: Populating Additional data in Material master record
Hi,
I am creating material master record using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA. I am using the below function modules to populate date in Additional Data Tab. I am getting the existing material details from BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL and passing it to
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA variables. I can create material successfully, but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT" TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Program populates this data for some materials and for some materials not. For example, when I try to create a new material by copying existing details from 1234 , New material will be created with 12345(say), but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT" TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Now If I put a break point, to find out what could be the issue , and then press f6 , and re-execute program for the same material 1234, then my custom program can populates data. I know its sound wiered, but I am not able to solve the issue.

Any suggestions ...Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. But now I am facing strange issue. As you see my code above, i am using VBWS_UOM_MAINTAIN_DARK to update Addition data tab. however, the values of internaltable gt_meinh_ws_upd was not updated correctly inside the material master.
For example, I am filling gt_meinh_ws_upd table with the below values
gt_meinh_ws_upd-wsm = 'OZT'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atnam ' ZABCDE'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023
append gt_meinh_ws_upd.
but when i see in material master, gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023 is updated with 23, instead of 0.023. I debugged th func. module many times, I didnot come acroos the code what making it to 23.
Any Idea karthik...
