Can we delete vendor master

Dear All,
can we delete vendor master records ?
if s how
regds,
CB

Hi CB,
Let me first convey you one concept that , Not only Vendor Master, We cannot delete ANY Master Data once it is created in the SAP System. The Only thing we can do is to set the Deletion Flag. That's all. For setting Deletion Flag for Each Master Record, there is respective transaction.
As you are inquring about Vendor Master
T. Code is XK06
Enter Vendor, Company Code and Purchasing Organization. In that select deletion Flag options which are A) All Areas Or B) Selected Company Code.
With option B) Selected Company Code functionality, you can block for vendor for one particular Company Code and for rest company codes, this vendor will be active.
I hope I have resolved your queries.

Can VMD_EI_API handle Create, Edit, and Delete Vendor Master records?

Hi Everyone,
I have a development that requires to create, edit, and delete vendor master records through a webportal ui. Technically, it will be a background process in SAP because it must not have a dialog screen. In my search so far, there is no standard BAPI or Function module that can handle this one.
Can the class VMD_EI_API handle the requirements?

John

Hi,
Yes, You can use this class to create/modify/delete vendor master data. You can find in SCN documents with example how use it.

Delete vendor master record

Dear All,
We need to delete some vendor master records and following the below procedure for deletion.
Step1:   Flag for deletion for the vendor to be deleted in XK06
Step2:   Maintained logical file and assigned path in T- code FILE (Physical path is maintained as F:\usr\sap\T3P\DVEBMGS00\work\{<FILENAME>} taken from T code AL11from the directory DIR_HOME)
Step3:   In SARA, maintained object as FI_ACCPAYB and in configuration maintained logical file name
                Selected write option, maintained variant with the vendor name ,selected the check box General master records and saved
                Executed the archive program
Step4:   In job overview write job is shown but not delete job (ARV_FI_ACCPAYB_WRI20090427155628)
We followed the above procedure for material master and it was deleted well but unable to delete vendor master.
Please let us know if there is any other procedure to delete vendor master or we missing anything in maintaining the logical file or in archiving procedure.
Note      : No transactional data exists for these vendors to be deleted.

Dear,
Deleting Vendor master is a big task even for experienced Consultants - I feel.
Usually you can change vendor name as DO NOT USE or DELETED. If any user try to use this vendor the name will appear as above.
Please check the OSS note:
Note 206812 - User exit for archiving MM vendor master data
Note 122641 - Vendor change documents not archived
Note 77670 - FI - Master data archiving Delete deletion flag
Note 84913 - Vendor master; deleting invalid partner functions

User exit for creating/deleting vendor master

Hello Gurus,
I have this task that to update this customized transaction we have for the certification list of the vendors. What they want is every time that there is new vendor master to be created or deleted in XK01, the customized transaction we have for the certification list of the vendors should be updated. I am thinking to suggest link the table LFB1 and LFA1 to the custo tcode we have to satisfy the business needs. Or any other suggestions? What are the user exits that can be use and link the creation /deletion vendors to my customized program? Technical team is asking for the user exits but not aware of them
Thanks!

We have this customized tcode where we input the vendor and materialu2019s expiration date manually. Then client wants to enhance that custo tcode with features when creating and deleting vendor in XK01 transaction, the new vendors data will also be automatically updated the custo tcode we have before. Its like everytime there is new vendor created, the custo tcode we have before will be updated with the new vendor data(not automatically input) then if the vendor is deleted, the vendor entry in the custo tcode we have before will also be deleted.
I found the user exit SAPMF02K but according to the technical team it is not applicable to our issue. Any suggestions or comments or other user exit that we can use to develop this new request wanted by the client?
Thanks!

Delete Vendor Master Data xk01

I have created Vendor Master in XK01 including purchase organization.
I want to delete it permanently. I have not made any POS and data.

Go to Tcode : SARA, enter the Object FI_ACCPAYB
Then :
1 Maintain write variant, it depends, if the vendor data only create for Purchasing Level only,than you can choose MM data.
When you archive MM data for vendor master records, the system automatically checks whether the following conditions have been met:
· The deletion flag is set.
· Dependent data of the following types no longer exists in the system:
Purchasing documents
Purchasing info records
Vendor partner roles
2. Maintain Deletion variant--> start deletion process --> this step will completely remove data from table.
If then some dependent data of above mention still exist,then you need also to close /archive the dependent data also.

Hi,
I am deleting the vendor master records by using xk06 (mark for deletation) but this is individual marking. i would like to delete 500 vendors at a time not one by one
i am also using OBR2 for the same but i am not so clear about that how it is working, this solve my problem but i am not aware of working of this Tcode please suggest me the concept of the same.
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Buddy,
try t-code XK99- Mass maintenance of Vendor Master
1. select the fields tab
2. select the Deletion Flag-LFA1-LOEVM, then execute
3. select the multiple selection, then from here you can either insert a textfile (see green call-outs icon) or paste the Vendor codes directly. execute again
4. select central deletion flag (X)
5. press fill down icon (the column), then save
after this you can validate your changes in XK06
hope this help you.

Maia

Delete Vendor Master Data in a Purchasing Organization

Hello Experts
I want to delete a Vendor Master Record that I have created, but not mark for deletion, I want to delete from the system.
I saw the transaction OBR2 to delete master redords, but I found that it is only possible to delete vendor for a Company Code. So how can I also delete the view of these vendors for the purchasing organzation?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
You can set the deletion at t.code via XK06 used to set the Flag for deletion .
Company code data,
Purchasing organisation data,
General data,
All area
Here,Check-box used to flagged the Vendor master to set the flag for deletion.
By using transaction OBR2 can set the deletion flag for the vendor master data not at purchasing and company code level.

I can't delete the master file, which is located on my external HD, through aperture

I import a folder to aperture which is stored on my external HD, and keep the originals on the HD. If I try to delete a master file with the option, file-delete master image and all versions, the photo deletes from Aperture, but not my hard drive. I have even tried to delete my trash, but no luck. Please help, otherwise I do not want to use aperture for file management, which was one of my major reasons for buying it.

After you've deleted a file it from the project it goes into Aperture Trash. When you empty Aperture Trash (Aperture>Empty Aperture Trash) you will get a dialogue box asking "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all items in the Trash?" Under this there is a checkbox giving you the option to "Move referenced files to System Trash". If you check this box it will move the master to the system trash, and from there you can permanently delete the file.
All this is to stop you from accidentally deleting work.

Extract the new , changed , deleted vendor master data -urgent pls

Hi all,
I have require ment like i need to extract all new, changed and deleted data from SAP TO MAXIMO
i need to send to a windows environment which both systems share,
i am using LFA1 ,CDHDR , CDPOS Tables , i will get the reuired information , can i use gui_download
to download to windows environment which both system are mapped to a common shared folder.
i will extract the infrmation and sent to a shared folder.
this a backround job schedule daily once.and also i have to sent the file contents to spool also.
please suggent some code existing or how to do the logic behind.
shall i use open data set
read data set
close data set.
please suggest ways of doing............urgent.

kodamanchili

With regards to the writing out of the data that, you are correct that you should use the Data Set commands if you are attempting to write a file out to the application server. If you are using any sort of EAI tool then there maybe are other ways specific to the tool for sending data, such as some of the tools utilize RFCs to send the data.
For the actual identifying of the changed records, it is best not to write delta interfaces directly against the change document tables (CDHDR and CDPOS). Instead you should be ustilizing change pointers. Change pointers are transient data stored in the BDCP and BDCPS tables (combiend togehter into view BDCPV) or stored in BDCP2 if configured to use this newer change poitner table for much better performance.
An instance of a change pointer in the change pointer tables will indicate the record that has changed and point to the changed document in the change document tables that can be referenced to extract more specific information.
The nice thing about change pointers are:
- They are transient, at the end of your extract you clear the ones that you've extracted so that the next time you will get the ones that have been pulled since then.
- You can setup instances of your change pointer object that are specific to an extract program so that two extract programs for similiar or even completly the same data won't itnerfere with each other.
- The CDHDR and CDPOS tables are great for extracting changes that have occured over time for a specific instance of a buisenss document (ex. Vendor) but do not perform well over time for extracting all changes associated with all instances of a buisness document (ex. All vendors that have had changes since the last run of the program). Programs that extract directly against CDHDR and CDPOS do perform delta extract functionality are oftern a performance problem as time progresses and the tables grow in size. If used properly Change Pointers are efficient becuase the tabels can be kept small and are optimized for the extracting of deltas.
For any tables that log change documents in CDHDR and CDPOS you can configure change pointers to be populated in the BDCP* tables.
Change pointer configuration:
- BD61 - Activate change pointers globally within the SAP instance
- WE81 - Need to create an ALE message type (even if you're not actaully going to connect it to an IDoc)
- BD50 - Activate change pointer functionality for your message type
- BD52 - Define the individual change documents, tables and fields that you want to have as part of your tracking
Your extract program will use two functions:
- CHANGE_POINTERS_READ - Use this to get a list of all change pointers since the last execution
- CHANGE_POINTERS_STATUS_WRITE - Use this to mark the change pointers as extracted so that they won't get picked up on the next execution
Transaction BD22 (Program RBDCPCLR) should be scheduled to run regularily to delete from the change pointer tables the records that have been marked as processesd.
Note - A common mistake that is made is that the change pointers are read, some filtering is done for specific ones that should be extracted and then only the extracted ones have their change pointer status updated. It's important to update the status on all of the change pointers because otherwise they'll be picked up again on the next run of the program and will be filtered out again, so over time the number of selected change pointers will keep growing since they will never get purged from the change poitner tables.
Note that the BDCP and BDCPS tables have a number of performance issues when the selections are done against them due to the way they are joined and the crieteria that is used for selecting. Becuase of this SAP has implimented a new change pointer table BDCP2 which is a single table as opposed to using a join. In order to utilize BDCP2:
- Used SM30 to update V_TBDME. For your message type turn on the checkbox for BDCP2.
- Run program RBDCPMIG for your message type, this will migrate existing pointers over to the BDCP2 table. If you can guarentee that there are no existing pointers then you can use SM30 to update for your message type the target of the pointers as being BDCP2

Standard method to archive/delete all vendor master data

Hi every abap expert
Does anyone know how to archive all vendor master data
in a client?
If use T-code : SARA . The vendor master data is required to mark deletion flag before archiving.
Any standard T-code can set all vendor master data with marked deletion flag ?

Hi Boris!
Give XK99 a try. With XK06 a single change is possible and in FI also FK06 is available.
When XK99 has problems with field LFA1-LOEVM, then you can make easily a CATT for XK06.

Vendor master deletion question..

I need confirmation about something.
In order to delete vendor master data from the system, even though the vendor has never been used, has no transactinal data and has been blocked and marked for deletion... does it still have to be archived with the transaction SARA?
In other words, it is not possible to remove any vendor master data that exists post go live without going through the archive process.. is that correct?

Yes, you are right.
If the Vendor Master has never been used, then don't archive it. Since it can be used for future vendors. Right now you can change the description to 'Deleted' and make sure you block the Vendors through MK01 and FK01.
I hope you know there are two data: Master and Transactional.
The Master data cannot be deleted and can be set for deletion mark and can be deleted through archiving.
The transaction data can be deleted without archiving.
Hope it helps.

How to delete a master record with transaction data?

Hi,
Iam able to delete master record(GL/Vendor/Customer)through OBR2 when there is no transaction data in those respective master records. Despite of clearing all open items in a particular vendor Account, Iam unable to delete that master record. Please suggest me how we can delete vendor master data having transactional data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Satish

Hi...
Not sure whether this helps....you can mark the vendorrecord for deletion and later try to delete it.
Logistics >> Materials management >> Purchasing >>
(new menu) Master data >> Vendor >> Central >> Flag for deletion
try using XK06/FK06
Assign points if useful
