How to delete the material records related to storage type

[Former Member]

Dear SAP guru's,

I got a situation that if the material "XXXXXX" exists in two different storage type (let say 001 & 002 ) and the material needs to be removed out of one (Let say 002) to avoid the picking and putaway in future.

Inorder to accomplish an above requirement we tried the below cases

Case 1: By flagged the material "XXXXXX" under storage type 002 in MM06 transaction.But it didn't restrict the system on allocating and removing the stock from /to to the storage type 002.

Case 2:After we flagged the material for deletion under storage type 002 ,we used to MM71 transaction to archive & delete the material record that assocaited with the storage type 002 completely.

I am kind of queiries to know if there is any other method or procedure available to delete the storage type associated material records in SAP.

Please guide me with the other options.Thanks.

Regards,

John.

Hi John,

Its very simple, remove the Storage type indicators from the material master - Warehouse View 1 at Stock placement & Stock removal section, with this it won't pickup or place the materials in the concerned storage type.

If you have extended this materials to more than 1 storage type, you need to do the same for all the storage types.

Reward if it is helpful.

Dear Aktar,

If we remove the stock placement and removal indicators on WM1 view for a material under storage type 001 ,system unable to propose any bins during the picking & putaway process based on the strategies and at the same time it requires lot of manual intervention to create a transfer orders.

Eventhough i would say it was a very helpful answer Aktar.Thanks allot.

Rgds,

John.
