Handling Obsolete Materials in a Retail Scenario

Question

Hi,
We have in our Retail Scenario ECC 6 where some Trading Materials have become obsolete and our requirement is to block further procurement and at the same time materials need to be sold.
a)     For material blocking we can use field X_Site status 01 in Basic View in Material master for this purpose. If we use this indicator it is not allowing      
to sell the goods.
b)     A report required to indicate availability of these obsolete materials in various  sites/plants 
Require your valuable inputs.

Answer 1

It sounds like you want something like
SQL> create table test(
  2    value number,
  3    mod_user varchar2(100)
  4  );
Table created.
SQL> create or replace trigger t_mod_test
  2    before update on test
  3    for each row
  4  begin
  5    if( updating( 'MOD_USER' ) )
  6    then
  7      null;
  8    else
  9      :new.mod_user := NVL( sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER')
10                           ,user );
11    end if;
12  end;
13  /
Trigger created.

  7      :new.mod_user := NVL( sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER')
  8                           ,user );
  9    end if;
10* end;
SQL> /
Trigger created.
SQL> insert into test values( 4, 'xyz' );
1 row created.
SQL> update test
  2     set value = 1
  3        ,mod_user = 'abc'
  4   where value = 4;
1 row updated.
