How do i go about creating the variant with the selection range of material master records to be selected for deletion and maintain it?

Feedback i got earlier was to use MM70 to premanently delete materials but i need to know how to create the variant.Can anyone help?

Hi Adeel,

Please use transaction MM71 to maintain the variant.

you can go to se11 and look at the table MARA and select only those materials where the deletion flag is set to 'X'.

So are you saying to create in MM71 then maintain?

You will have to first create a variant in MM71 (or use an existing one).

To create a new variant, give your variant name in the selection box and then click on 'Maintain'.

Once you have created the variant , you will have to set the start date and spool parameters to set up the job that will run regularly to archive the material master records.
