Before Archiving the Material Master the materials need to be flagged for deletion in T Code MM06/MM16.

Archiving the materials is done thro T Code SARA. All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown.

When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.

Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.

Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.

To archive the material master, first go to transaction SARA

Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).

Save the variant.

Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.

Click Go to Job Overview to check the archive status.

To do a permanent delete, click Delete button.

Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.

Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.

Click Go to Job Overview to check the delete status.

This need to be done carefully and better to first do it in testing client.

After archiving those materials will not be displayed in reports unless categorically selected

Note: SARA is a general transaction where you can archive all types of records using respective archiving object

just FYI.

Material Master archive is not so easy, since it need all material master related objects, say planned order, purchase document, stock and etc. all deleted.

Archive t-code: SARA

Object: MM_MATNR

It's basis job, as function guys, we should understand the logic.

hi,

Setting material master alone is not enough. You need to do the archiving to delete materials with deletion flag from the system.

Check with your Basis person to see whether he can help you to archive this object

cheers
