How to delete PO number at table level ?if we are not marked deletion indicator in PO screen

Hi vignes123

If you want to eliminate the PO - You can achieve this in following ways. (But do not delete it manually - that will cause inconsistency - as Dominik alerted ).

1. You can either Archive the PO - using SARA transaction so that it will not be visible in normal business transactions.

2. You can Open the PO in ME22n - and mark all the Items - Mark the delivery indicator as completed.

3. You can open the PO in ME22n - and mark all the line items - deleted. So that it will not be appearing in MIRO or MIGO transactions so that no financial entries will be created further.

I would prefer, you can use SARA and archive the PO - if you really do not want to see at any place.

Hope you can choose any of these ways to achieve your requirement.

Hello Venkateswar,

Thanks for the kind information.

Hello vignes123

Purchase orders are stored in EKKO, EKPO and probably a dozen other tables. There is very slim chance that you delete a PO consistently. Therefore you should never ever manipulate SAP standard tables directly - that is a recipe for a disaster.

You can manage POs with the ME22N transaction or with the BAPI_PO_CHANGE function.

PO is an external purchasing document and you should not delete in table level at all. If PO along with PO item need to be deleted - you can set deletion flag to line item with ME22N and if many PO's are there you can design a custom transaction code which call a BAPI on PO changes for your requirement.

Additionally , if you have archiving process in place with archiving server - you can go for archiving of PO/PO's with defined data periods with help of SARA.
