Deletion indicator in MAPL and PLKO

[Former Member]

I have a recipe, for which when i check in table MAPL, it says deletion indictor is set. But when i check the table PLKO, i do not see the deletion indicator set. Why is this inconsistency?

please help

Thanks

Hi Neeraj,

There is no inconsistency.

MAPL table is for the Materials assigned to a task list. So a deletion indicator in MAPL means the material which was earlier assigned to a particular task list is now deleted.

Whereas PLKO table is for task list header. If you find a deletion indicator here then the task list itself is marked for deletion.

So deletion indicator in MAPL & no deletion indicator in PLKO means material assignment is deleted but not the task list.

Hi neerajagrawal,

Table MAPL holds the material - plan group relation. When you delete a material(Materail Assignment) from plan group it marks a deletion indicator to the material in table MAPL.

Table PLKO holds the plan group header. When you delete the plan group (alternative) it marks a deletion indicator to the plan group alternative in table PLKO.

Hi,

Are you working on a Z program to report routings? If this is the reason of your inquiry, you'd better use the function module CARO_ROUTING_READ. It is cumbersome (or just impossible) to fetch the valid routing of today, or any required date, from the tables.

Regards.
