SAP - Material Master- If a Material Record is marked for deletion

If a Material Record is marked for deletion at client level, would this material be available for MRP runs and Physical inventory purpose.

Hi Hemant
If the material is just marked for deletion, it gives the flexibilty to revert back your decision and have them live. For this reason, the behavouir is controlled by system messages. The system will allow you to post inventory if the system message (M7 127)is configured as Warning under Materials Management --> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory --> Define Attributes of System Messages. The same way we can configure for Purchasing as well.
But from a MRP run prespective, it will terminate as mentioned by Mario.
If you want to get rid of a material from your system, then refer to the below thread

Can a PO be generated using Info record marked for deletion

Hello all,
Is it possible that PO be generated using Info record marked for deletion?
Observed that a info record is marked for deletion but still able to see a PO generated using this info record.
Is this becasue - PO can be generated untill info record is actually deleted from the system during next reorganization run?
What is reorganization run?

Hello S. Iyer,
I have following queries -
1. What is meaning of your statement -
"If you want to restrict creation of POs against deleted info record"
Do you mean that info record is "deleted" or "marked for deletion"?
2. Any way, is there difference between two - "deleted" or "marked for deletion"?
3. Where in the info record I can see history of marking for deletion to see who and when marked it for deletion?
4. Observed that there is a message that comes up that info record is marked for deletion.
Is there indication on info record itself like - permanent record, tick mark to indicate that it is marked for deletion?

Purchasing Info Record marked for deletion

Hi experts,
I need some explanation on Purchasing Info Records and more precisely on the deleted ones.
Could you tell me why a Purch. Info Record that is marked for deletion is still set when a PO is created?
In ME13 I have the following warning message : 06-718 (Purchasing info record & & & & flagged for deletion).
In ME21N the same message is displayed as warning and users are able to save the PO with the deleted Info Record.
I don't understand why SAP still retrieves Info Records that are marked for deletion...
Is there a way to prevent SAP from using deleted info records?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
The message 06718 can be set as an error or warning in customising.
If message 06718 is set as error then system will not allow to save
the document with that info record.
The deletion indicator is the reservation to delete this record. But
this is not comparable with the deletion of the record from the database
This has to be done within the archiving run for the object MM_EINA.
Untill this inforecord is not archived the data is taken as usual."
Online documentation provides the following information
"You cannot delete obsolete info records immediately. You can
only flag them for subsequent deletion. Info records earmarked for
deletion in this way are not actually deleted until the archiving
program is run. This is done at regular intervals by your system
administrator. You can flag an individual info record for deletion,
or create a list of deletion proposals and choose the relevant records
that are to be deleted from this list."
Kind regards,
Lorraine

Vendor master marked for deletion

Hi Gurus,
I have the following issues related to vendor master deletion.
1. I can able to create PR, release the PR for the vendor after marked for deletion and also blocked in XK05.
2. It allows to maintain RFQ for the vendor marked for deletion and also blocked in XK05.
3. It allows to release PO for the vendor marked for deletion and it blocks only after blocking in XK05
4. It allows to post GR and IR for the vendor marked for deletion and also in blocked in XK05.
Appreciated your help on this.
Thanks and regards
Durai

the deletion indicator is a preparation for archiving.
However, archiving will check whether the vendor is still in use and must be kept.
A deletion indicator will with standard customizing not restrict the usage. The user get a warning message and this should him make start thinking.
1. I can able to create PR, release the PR for the vendor after marked for deletion and also blocked in XK05.
Do you have a purchasing organisation. in the requisition? XK05 restricts the order creation, I do not know about any restriction in requistion creation or release.
2. It allows to maintain RFQ for the vendor marked for deletion and also blocked in XK05.
This should not be possible if the purchasing block is set according to OSS note 67341
3. It allows to release PO for the vendor marked for deletion and it blocks only after blocking in XK05
Thats correct, If the vendor was not blocked at PO creation, then system has to allow the follow on activities, explained in OSS note 129836
4. It allows to post GR and IR for the vendor marked for deletion and also in blocked in XK05.
same as for Q3, explained in OSS note 129836

Purchasing info record 5300000013 flagged for deletion

Hi,
While changing the Purchasing info record , we get the following message:
Purchasing info record 5300000013 flagged for deletion as a warning
We want to convert this message as error. For that we changed the System message category, purchasing as "E" in Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Environment Data-> Define Attributes of System Messages, but after that also the System gives a warning message in T Code ME12.
Where do I need to change to get the error message? As per understanding, the system should always warning message so that we can change the deletion flag, if required in future.
Please guide.
Regards,
PK

hi,
Try to understand the importance of the message. PIR document is not must to make or create any PO...
but in case if req. or for copying few parameters from old/latest PIR, we use it...
Its always better to have the PIR for the PO, which may be made before or after the generation PO...as it stores the PO price history, conditions etc...which may get updated and pulled whenever required...
So, due to such reasons system has made this message as warning message...because you can use it just for record maintainance, but it will be of no use if thinking practically...
Normally we make these settings at SPRO >> IMG>>MM Purchasing>>Environment data>> Define attributes of system messages...

Material Master Security at Material Level

Hi!
Can anyone tell me if we can lock security on material masters down on certain material types? We have just started testing security at the screen level but would like to take it a step further to material type. We are on 45.B still...
Thanks for all your help!

I never worked on 45b, but with 46c and Ecc6 it is possible to restrict based on materail type by using authorization object M_MATE_MAR

How to delete the records in BI for deleted reocrds in R/3

Hi ,
We have a scenarion described below...
We have a table in R/3 and updates happen to the table every week with a ZPROGRAM which deletes some of the records and recreates with some logic.
Assuming :
Initially, We did the load to BI and we got 200 records for last week (Initial Load)
After R/3 prgram is ran, it deletes some of the reocrds in those table , say we only have 150.
Now, Can BW somehow know , what are those records and delete those 50 records from the request which has already been loaded ?
FYI, we just have an indicator marked with X on the R/3 table if the program in R/3 has run.
I know, one solution is "selective deletion".
As we have to selectively delete every week, we do not want to take that approach.
Second is "full load" but we do not want to do full load also as the data volume is huge.
We would like to delete those 50 reocrds in BI dynamically with some ABAP code/some logic. Does anyone have any suggestions ???
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
I will try to explain it, but at the moment I am unable to take a look at the code.
I have set up a generic function module which will do the trick for more than one specific datasource. This function module is placed in the startroutine and only executed for the first datapackage.
Within the startroutine of the transformation, you have the possibility to use the p_r_request class. This class contains all necessary information about the current DTP load.
I use the get_source and get_target methods to determine the correct database tables dynamically. The t_h_sel (or somthing) contains the current DTP selections. This will include the RequestID and all other selections like fiscal year for example.
Because the write optimized DSO only has a technical key, we can use the RequestID to do the selection on the source table. After that you can compare the source selection with the active table of the second DSO and add all records from the second DSO that are not available in the source selection.
Please note that the key of the second DSO should be the same as the semantic key of the first DSO in order to do the compare.
Best regards and good luck!

Deletion material master in bulk

Hi Friends,
I want to delete some materials (50). I am not going to use those materials further. How could i delete it. I heard we can do archive process to delete that in bulk...so far i have not done that archive process...kindly tell me how to do that process and where to do that process...?? can i select the materials which i want to delete during archive process..??
Regards,
Prasath

Hi,
Deleting is something which u will block for usage and still data exits in the system
Archiving is something where u permanently remove the data from the system
Go through the follow steps to archive the material master.
Archiving the Material Master
Before Archiving the Material Master the materials need to be flagged for deletion in T Code MM06/MM16.
Archiving the materials is done thro T Code SARA. 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.
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
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.
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
To archive the material master, first go to transaction SARA
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 Go to Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, 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 Go to Job Overview to check the delete status.
This need to be done carefully and better to first do it in testing client.
After archiving those materials will not be displayed in reports unless categorically selected
Note: SARA is a general transaction where you can archive all types of records using respective archiving object

Upload Material Master to non SAP Catalog

Hi Guys,
we are trying to create a process to upload Material Master and/or Purchasing Info Recordes data directly from the backend into an non-SAP catalog. So far I only know about report BBP_CCM_CATALOG_TRANSFER, that uploads replicated material master from SRM into CCM or MDM Catalog.
Are there reports available in the backend (ECC6 EhP3) or in SRM 700 that could extract the data from Material Master and Purchasing Info Records into a format (XML;CSV,..) that could be used to upload these data into a catalog manually or via PI.
Any hints are welcome!
Thx
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
Yes you can run MECCM in your ECC system to transfer PIR and contracts as XML files.

Program to update info record with material master data

I am trying to determine if there is a standard SAP program that can be run as a batch file to update the fields in the info record with the same fields that are in the material master? ie: Planned delivery time, Tolerance, purchasing group etc.

Hi,
There is no standard report or transaction that can do this.
The data from these fields in the material master is brought in as a default to the info record when it is created. beyond this point the Info record is treated as being the correct data regardless of what happens to the material master data and so no updates occur in the standard system.
It would not be difficult to build an LSMW job to copy the data from the material master to the info records and this would be the recommendation if you want to do this.
