I am investigating archiving the material master in R/3. I am concerned about the risks associated with removing a material number that has had some historical activity such as purchase orders, sales orders, shipments, and deliveries.
Can someone provide some expertise or experience on the impacts and risks in this scenario once the materials are removed? I am particularly concerned with what happens with regard to reporting, such as SIS structures, BW cubes, profitabililty, etc.
