Archiving material master - storage location

Hi experts,
I am in process of archiving storage locations of few material codes which are split valuated.
Actually material/s are extended to 3-4 storage location and one storage location has to be removed from the same.
i am using transaction code SARA with archiving object MM_MATNR and getting following error -
plant/storage location dependent batch records exist.
please suggest how to correct the error
relevant solution will suitably be rewarded please.
regards,
Pawan Khurana

I had not spoken about the tick for delete in test mode in the selection screen.
I spoke about the variants for test and production run in customizing to your archiving object.
If the variant that is saved for production run, has the tick for test run, then it just will not work.
Further you should select X Complete for Detail log and list for P_PROT_O,
This way you should get spool file that tells you more about errors or succesfull archived items.
What did you do with the box in from of "Consider batch record without deletion flag" ?
If empty, are you sure you have manually set the deletion indicator in MSC2N?
What about the other boxes in this options section?

Detetion material from storage location

Hi All ,
I wanted to delete a material from a storage location .Can any one suggest me to delete material from storage location other than blocking material for storage location using MM06 .I suppose that it can not done by using MMSC.
Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth P.

Dear,
If you created an material by error and you want to delete that material from the data base you can do it in this simple 4 steps. The only condition is that this material has to have no material movement recorded.
These are the steps:1
1) Flag material for deletion. transaction MM06
2) Run report MMREO001 - Selection of materials flagged for deletion and select the material
3) Run report MMREO050 Archive Materials to archive the material (some customisig settings might be required)
4) Run report MMREO110 Deletion Program for Archiving Materials to delete the material from the database.
These reports are called by the SARA transaction too.

How to view archived material master

Hi,
I need to view the archived master master.
When I checked in forum I found out it can be done through tcode SARA
and object MM_MATNR. But I cant find archived material master in it.
Please guide me.
regards
sathya

Hi Sathya,
The set of files which you are getting are the archive files. All your archived materials will be contained in those files. If you know the date when the material you are looking for was archived, you can select the archive file which was created on that date. Or as Juergen mentioned, if there is a proper note for the archiving session, it will be easier to find. In case you dont know the archiving date / there is no archiving note, then you may have to run MM72 on the archive files one by one till you get your material.
Thanks,
Naveen

To archive material master, use MM71 or FI_ACCPAYB?

Hi!
We are preparing archiving on material master in our ECC6.0.
We know that FI_ACCPAYB can be used for that purpose.
However, we also are told that we can go t-code MM71 to archive material master as well.
Please inform us whether it is true? And if so, which method is better?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. Actually I notice MM_MATNR is for material master as well. So which one should we
choose among above 3 possibilities?

Hi Linda,
MM_MATNR is the correct object for archiving material master. FI_ACCPAYB is for archiving vendor master.
Please refer to the following link for documentation on archiving material master.
Link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/8b/8e963466880c30e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm]
Before archiving material master, you will need to archive all the documents which has reference to the material (such as purchasing documents etc)
While archiving, if any material is not eligible for archiving, you will get an error message in the archive log. Please refer to SAP Note 900537 for the meaning of the error messages.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi,
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 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.

How to extend material in storage location automatically???

Dear Gurus,
We have 9 plants in this company.
Every time we create a material we have to extend it in all plants.
Because it takes to long to do this one by one with MM01 we use mm17 and we created there a variant that extends the materials in all plants automatically.
Then we have 3 storage locations for each plant. we use MMSC: enter storage locations collectively, to extend each the material in all the storage locations of the company 9x3 = 27. This takes too long as a procedure.
Is there a way to automate this procedure, via rutines, codes, variants, ABAP etc??? and how should I do that??
Thank you in advance

Dear Friend,
In customization spro>>MM>>inventory management>>Plant parameters>>select your plant >>click on create storage location automatically
click that one, if your not extended the material to the particular storage location and doing the goods receipt to the particular storage location system will allow you to do that

Transfer material from Storage location to Storage type.

Hello,
At the time of usage decision we are posting the stock in "To Reserve stock" for that we have created seperate storage location ie for Sample material.
we having two samples one is customer sample and other is in house sample both the samples we are posting in same storage location.
Client want to differentiate these two samples, so we have created two storage types.
Now My question is " can we transfer the samples in different storage types from Storage location.
This is the QM and WM integration.
Please advice
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anil

Hello Anil
I don't think you can transfer from storage location to storage type.
If your purpose is to differentiate these two samples, then why not use different Sample types with different number ranges and thus identify them. You don't have to get into QM-WM integration just for that.
If you want you may also set up 2 different physical sample locations: That would be ideal.
SPRO/IMG/Quality Management/Quality Inspection/Sample Management/Define Physical-Sample Types
SPRO/IMG/Quality Management/Quality Inspection/Sample Management/Define Number Range
SPRO/IMG/Quality Management/Quality Inspection/Sample Management/Define Physical-Sample Locations
On the application side you may use the sample management procedures to deal with samples. See the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b8/b9b3341a933f50e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
Does that work? Let me know.

Non storaged material in Storage Location after mov 653

I have a non storage material.
when the return delivery picking was done SAP let to put a storage location. for this Delivery item category wit has not flagged "Do Not Check Storage Location". So it has to be checked. Its also true that we have Storage location is absolutely necessary, so without storage locatin we cant deliver, but we should have an error message and not let us deliver using a storage location when its a not storaged material.
And the problem is that when you have the material in the storage location you cant do nothing because the material has no storage data.

Hi
For the Return delivery , delivery item category is not flagged with the feild "Do Not Check Storage Location " . It is not checked because a Returns order are mostly created wrf to sales order / billing document/delivery document. So once you copy the data to the returns order and when you do Post Goods Receipt then at that time there is no need to copy the sloc.
But ,if the material doesn't have storage data then we cant retrieve how much stock is available in storage locations. So we have to run the report to know how much stock is available in the storage location

Srinath

Subcontracted material in storage location

Dear gurus,
I did a 101 movement in MIGO and the system did a 543 for the components to relieve the material from vendor but I can't see the material at our storage location.
With best regards and Happy Diwali to all my friends.
Syed

Hi Syed,
Subcontracting PO concept itself is this -
You will provide some components to vendor (using 541 mvt type before hand)
Vendor completes manufacture of the finished product for you. This FG you will enter as item to be procured from the vendor in the pO with item category L
The bom maintained in CS03 provides components list to be sent to vendor (you may find within the PO at the item -->Material Data tab...click the higherarchy icon on the right side within this tab.
Now, when you receive finished product from your subcon vendor, it posts with 101 for FG and components are consumed automatically with 543. Hope, it is clear now...
Regards

Material in Storage Location.

Hi everybody, how can I do to know if a material was created for a Storage Location? Because I was checking on MARD table but I found a storage location that not has an entry in the table for a material, but I tried to do a good receipt without referenfe to this Sloc for this material and the system allows me to do that, and them an entry for this combination was inserted on table MARD. Do you know how can I check if a material was created for a Storage Location? Regards.

Hi Fernando,
In SAP storage locations can be created automatically for plant which is done by the configuration. Thats the reason even if you dont have entry in MARD table against the material it allows you do a goods movement for a material with the new location.
Cheers,
Devendran
