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.

  • VENDOR MASTER DELETION

    Dear Experts,
    I want to delete 2 vendor master data.permanentlyt from database.
    I tried with xk06.Then in OBR2,in test run its showing no data to delete.
    If it can be done in T-Code SARA,please explain me stepwise how to do so..

    Hi Aritra,
    To delete the vendor master, you must proceed as follows:                                                                               
    Call transaction SARA.  Choose object FI_ACCPAYB and choose archiving  Maintain variant.  Maintain vendors, general master data, FI link  validation off, FI data - enter company codes, detail log.   Execute the variant.  This will delete all data except the purchasing  address.                                                                               
    You must then go into SARA again and maintain another variant  and enter the same thing except do not click on FI data but click  on MM data. This will delete the rest of the vendor master data.                                                                               
    If you are confident that there is currently no FI data then you will not need to run the first step, only that relating to the MM data.                                                                               
    Please be careful and run archives in TEST mode first.                                                                               
    (The program that runs the deletion/archive is SAPF058.You may need to finally re-run SAPF019 (transaction OBR2) This program deletes master data in Financial Accounting and is designed ).
    Hope this help

  • 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

  • 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

  • Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?

    Hi,gurus,
    Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?You know we can create vendor data using idoc CREMAS03 as the receiver adapter,but when change or delete the specified vendor data,must we use RFC adapter technique?
    Another question:I found the bapi which creates a vendor master data doesn't have the parameter account group,then we turned to idoc technique.But which adapter should I use when change or delete the vendor data?
    Thanks in advance.

    >>>I found the field of the segment of deletion flag at different level,and very appreaciate your help.
    yes - LOEVM  - but remember this will not delete the record but only mark it for deletion
    >>>It's a long time to wait for your new blog,what new and interesting things do you find?
    at least 4 new in my head - 2 simple but important and 2 new + I'd also like to write something for XI guys about

  • 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!

  • Question about using 1 SETID for Vendor Master

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a large healthcare system and we are currently in the PeopleSoft training classes and are about to move into the design phase. We are a multi hospital system and are moving everyone to PeopleSoft for our ERP system. My questions is for Supply Chain purposes and hope that someone can help clarify. It is our goal to use 1 vendor master SETID for our entire hospital system. Please see my question below.
    The customer account # for a vendor is currently at the set id. The customer account # is specific to an entity as it identifies where the vendor should ship. How can we have one vendor master (setid) and still allow the correct customer account # to default on the PO (the buyer needs this when calling in an order)?

    On each of these 'dumb terminals' I assume you are looking to access the complete Mac desktop from the central Mac?
    Unfortunately, this can't be done.
    In the past, the setup you describe first was used on mainframes where each end node was a dumb terminal. But it was just text.
    Next came X11 which does mostly what you are asking about, but each end node is basically a full computer in itself. You can remotely log into a central server and get a complete desktop session. This would take using a central computer that is running full X-Windows and then you'd need a PC running Linux, or running Windows and a X-Terminal package like Exceed or a Mac with X11 installed (not sure if you can make the Mac X11 do a full-blown desktop X session.) Note that as the central server, you'd need a computer running an OS with full-blown X-Windows (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) -- OS X is UNIX but it doesn't run full X-Windows as its window manager.
    Finally, there is what are called 'thin clients' ... a good example is Sun Microsystems' SunRay... it's enough hardware on the client side to provide display, keyboard and mouse. They boot off a central Sun Solaris server and work just like X-Windows clients. The difference here is that the SunRay unit can't work on its own; it has no disk, and has to boot from the SunRay server.
    And of course there's Windows Terminal Services, which lets you do the same thing with Windows. I think that takes Windows Server edition software on the central computer, and then a regular PC as a client.
    Sounds like your only option is to use Mac minis as you suggest. But then there's no need for a central computer to share, obviously.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?
    Regards,
    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.

    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

  • 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.
