Material master flag for deletion MM06

Former Member

Hi All,

In MM06, when I flag a material and specific level (for ex, Plant, Sale Org) for deletion, I could still see that level of information in MM03 with warning saying "Flaged for Deletion at client level"

Doesn't BASIS has to run "ReOrganization" for after this? What' TCode is that (just good to know).

What happens as a result of "ReOrganization"?

Thanks in advance.

Archiving is a process, and is meant to keep data that is not anymore needed for cuurrent business in a separate file, still accessible, e.g .for autiding purposes for a retention period defined by local tax authorities.

And archiving has its depoendencies. You can only archive a material if it is not used anymore anywhere in a document, e.g. a purchase order, or a bill of material....

If it was in use, then you have to archive those document first to be able to archive finally the material master.

ARchiving of master data is among the very last steps in an archive cycle.

Delete a material master - MM module :

If you created an material by error and you want to delete that material from the data base you can do it in this simple 4 steps. The only condition is that this material has to have no material movement recorded.

These are the steps:1

1) Flag material for deletion. transaction MM06

2) Run report MMREO001 - Selection of materials flagged for deletion and select the material

3) Run report MMREO050 Archive Materials to archive the material (some customisig settings might be required)

4) Run report MMREO110 Deletion Program for Archiving Materials to delete the material from the database

Alternative1:

Use transaction MM70 - Material Master->Other->Reorganization->Material->Choose.

Build variant with selection range of material master records to be selected for deletion and maintain

run parameters.

Execute.

Use transaction MM71 - Material Master-> other-> Reorganizationn-->Material->Reorganization

Build a second variant

Maintain run parameters and execute.

It is also important to remove the records manually from info record, POs, PRs, reservation etc

for successful deletion of the material.

If you want to delete all the materials in the current client use t-code MMDE.

Reward if useful.

Thanks and Regards,

many mix archiving and reorganisation, or say reorganisation and just mean archiving.

archiving is more the data part, while reorganisation is more a database job.

If you archive data from a table e.g. material master, then the records will be deleted from various tables, but the space in the tables is still allocated and reserved for material master records.

But if you run an reorganisation e.g. at Oracle database level, then you free this allocated space, and it can be used for any other record.
