Hi,

For deleting the material use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA...

In the parameter HEADDATA-MATERIAL pass the material number.

In the parameter CLIENTDATA-DEL_FLAG = 'X'

In the parameter CLIENTDATAX-DEL_FLAG = 'X'.

Then give COMMIT WORK..

Thanks,

HI NAREN,

Thanks !!

But this bapi is used for creating and changing the materials.

Not for DELETION.

If you are having any solution to delete the materials kindly suggest me.

Create and Change Material Master Data

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

I ll be really thankful to your solution.

Hi,

The BAPI will work for deletion also..

Deleting means not physically deleting from the database tables..

The field MARA-LVORM will be set to 'X'.

Please check my previous for details..

Jyothi,

we should not delete any data once its created in SAP, we should set the deletion flag on, so that, it will be considered as deleted entry. the other way is archiving.
