Block posting for Obsolete Materials in COPA

[Former Member]

Hey All

We ahve a ascenario in which we post some expenses to the materials via FI transactions FB50. Nothing hits the stock accounts in these transactions. Only thing is while posting we assign the Materials to the PA segment so that we can run reports in COPA for the materials

Now some materials have been discontinued and the material plant status have been set to NOT to perform any transaction related to supply chain. BUT when posting through above FB50 trasnaction the system does stop it from posting and derivation for the obsolete material. I have even tried setting the deletion flag in MM06 for the material. Is there any solution to this so that we can stop material from posting

Thanks

Ankur

Hi

In my opinion, you need to use exit COPA0002 and put a check.. I dont think its possible in standard system

Another way is to change the description of these materials and add Text " DO NOT USE" so that users are aware while using it

Thanks for help Ajay

The user exit will need some custom table to look at or will it look at the material master field MARA-LVORM which is deletion indicator check?

Will a custom table and validation rule be helpful?

Hi

Why you need a Custom table.. You can straight away read MARA Table
