  • Material Master Archiving Issue

    Hi,
    I have Issue with Material Master archiving. I got an error message" MARD:Reservation /Dependent  requirement exist.
    I have checked in MB24-Open reservations. All Reservations are closed. No stock existed. No Transfer requirements & No stock in transit.
    I ran MBVR also.
    How to solve thsi problem.
    Regards,
    Sridhar.

    Hi Sridhar,
    You may refer to note [900537 |https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=900537]for details:
    Error W4017 - Reservation/Dependent requirements exist:
    This message indicates that some reservations exist for the material you
    are trying to archive. You should be able to see the existing
    reservations using table RESB. Firstly, you must archive the document
    that caused the reservation to be created, for example Production Orders
    then you must archive the reservations themselves. Afterwards, it should
    be possible to archive the material.
    Note 30781 may assist if you identify that these requirements stem from
    purchase requisitions.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Material Master Archive Process

    Hi
    1. How can we archive a material master? Explain in details..
    2. Wats the impact on the above.. pls describe
    Vijay

    Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules.  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.
    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.

    1. Check material master - material status
    2. Check the tables for stock at valuation area level
    3. Create a program with the help of ABAPer to check existing of purchase documents, GR, GIs etc....I mean if there is any movement in the time period specifed (say 2 years).
    Hope you know the process of archieving.....if not chek the below link

    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 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

    HI,
    ADK-based archiving relies on two main elements, which are used for the development and administration of archiving solutions: Archive Development Kit (ADK) and Archive Administration (transaction SARA).
    ADK and SARA are part of the standard SAP Web Application Server. ADK is the Application Programming Interface used by the applications to develop archiving solutions, while Archive Administration (transaction SARA) is used mainly by data archiving administrators to manage all tasks related to data archiving, including job scheduling and management, writing, reading and deletion of data, as well as Customizing.

    This issue is to be solved with the ABAP consultant, dealing with the Web based applicaitions...

  • 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.

  • MATERIAL MASTER DATA ARCHIVING

    Dear Experts,
    I have archive material master data from the data base.
    As a prerequisite for material master data archive,
    Purchase orders for the materials are archived already.
    Invoices documents are archived already
    Material documents are archived already
    No material stocks exists for these materials.
    Please tell me deletion flag is to be set for the material at client level ?
    Table MARA
    Field LVORM

    you can delete and archive a material master at any level.
    If you want archive the full material master, then you have to set the deletion indicator in MM06 on top level. if you just want archvie a storage location view, then you set your deletion indicator at this level only, as well in MM06.
    In general MM06 is not necessary, as the SARA MM_MATNR write program allows to archive materials without having a deletion flag.

  • Archiving/deletion of material master record from Plant

    Hi Experts,
    I have 50000 materials in 0001 Plnat and recently created a new plant 0002. I transfered 2000 materials from 0001 to 0002. In this scenario when I run a report in Plant 0001, all the 5000 materials are appearing, which i dont want to see the transfered 2000 materials.
    I tried with Archieving with SARA transaction but material is archived at Client level only, not at Plant level. Now I want to change the Material type (FERT)of those 2000 materials which are transferred to Plant 0002 to other material type(HALB). Can you please explain the chanllenges in this process ? or suggest other process.
    Regards,
    Bhagavan.

    Hi,
    You can change material type using transaction MMAM.
    In this case systemw ill check the material should not have any inevntory posting.
    It should not have a valuated stock.
    New material type sgould support same amount of material views as old one ( it might have other master data present like purchasing info record).
