MM_MATNR variant - define selection criteria

[nati_k]

Hi guys, I have to archive MM consider I have huge tables in my system. For other objects I could define selection criterias based on, for example, the posting date, so I will run several jobs to archive the same object.

But for material master the variant only has the material number to define a selection criteria. In my case, I want to archive every material that is marked for deletion, but I'm afraid to run the job with an open selection criteria ... it will take a lot of time, and I don´t kow what will happen with such huge spool.

Do you have some tip to define this variant?

(the same happens with MM_EINA).

thanks in advance

just use SE16 for MARA and and pull a list of materials with deletion indicator. copy the numbers into the clipboard and then click the multiple selection button and load it from clipboard into the selection.

Thanks for your reply Jurgen.

In this case, I would need to first download a list with materials marked for deletion in MARA; then in MARC, then in MBEW, and in MVKE. Am I correct?

Without modification you can only archive materials as a whole, which means deletion indicator at MARA. If this indicator is set in MARA then the deletion indicator is automatically set any any sub-level like MARC, MBEW etc. Just look at the screen in MM06 which shows the deletion indicator and levels.
