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.
Steven

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.

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.

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.
Samir

It 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?
Thanks

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
Thanks

Hi 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.

How do I find who created a particular material master record?

How can I find who created a material master record when it was created? I've looked in the item changes log and all it shows is changes, not when the material was created.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use SE16 + MARA. Field ERSDA will show you the desired date.
In MM03 there's an icon: white 'i', background blue. Please click on it.

How to load AFS Material Master records.

Hello everyone,
I am new to loading AFS Material Master records. In the past I have simply used the Material Master direct input programs, or batch input, to load the data. Because of the extra AFS fields, I was guessing there must be a new direct input program, or batch input, for it. Maybe there is a IDOC that must be used?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you all.

Hey there again, I just wanted to bring this subject back up again.
I always took it for granted the we loaded materials in batches. We would load basic data for some materials and then extend the plant data, then sales, storloc data, warehouse data. That is a total of 5 files one after the other. I never really thought of why we did this, but now that I think about it maybe we did because it only took a little bit of data to create the basic data. When you extend the plant data, you do not need to enter in the data already created from the initial basic data load. Sales data only required so much so you could skip all the unnecessary basic and plant data.
Is that why you loaded in batches, because it is easier to extend?
If you wanted to you could have all the basic, plant, sales, purchasing data on one record if you really wanted to. Why didnu2019t you do it that way?
Thanks for the input.

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,
madhav

SAP 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.

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

The ECM is not relesead and we have used tcode MM02.
I have seen that the tcode CCUNDO check the planned changes with tcode MM12.
Thx in advance
Marco

Hello Rahul ,
Please see the following link for more information regarding the Revision Level in Material Master.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ff/5160a249d811d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
A revision level identifies a specific change status of a material with reference to a change number. It is used, for example, to identify changes affecting other areas such as Production.
You generally assign a revision level when processing a material BOM (bill of material created with reference to a material master record). However, you can also assign a revision level when processing a material master record.
You can display a revision level assigned to a material by choosing Display revision level on a departmental data screen in a material master record.
I hope this information has been helpful for you.
Best Regards,
Frank

Search Facility from Material MAster Record

Dear Experts,
My client, when they upload the Material Master Data, the manufacture name, they key in Material Long text field, there are millions of materials,
Now if i want to search for a particular manufacturer name - how to do search in SAP, since it is maintained as Long Text field?
Please suggest me the permanent solution for this.
Also i would like to see the consumption of materials, after the output of Manufacture name report.

Hii,
You Can identify a Field and capture the Manufactures name in that field.
Based on that some Standard Reports will be available and still if you are not meeting your requirements you can develop a Zee Reports.

Material without material master record

Dear All,
i want material without material master record by using account assignment category k. how can i do that. item category should be standard. i will use another material group with a different valuation class.
regards,
qsm sap

Hi,
In ME21N, In case of w/o material master purchases (Text Purchases), do not enter material code in PO, Enter following details;
Account Assignment Category (For e.g. K - Cost Center),
Item Category - Blank
Short Text,
Quantity,
UoM,
Material Group,
Plant,
Gross Price, etc...
Then Save it.
2. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO
It will Debit Expense A/c and Credit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
3. MIRO - LIV w.r.t. PO
It will Credit Vendor A/c and Debit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
And if you want account determination on the basis of material group then do following config.
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material master > Entry Aids for Items without an material master > here assign different valuation classes to different material groups as per your Accounting requirement.
And then do necessary account determination in OBYC for the Valuation classes, T/E Key "GBB" and Val. modifier "VBR"
