Deleting PPMs from APO

[Former Member]

Hi all -

Whats the best way to clear the obsolete PPMs from APO? Can it be done only through BAPIs/program/manually as suggested in some earlier posts?

Is there anyway we can make the system remove the obsolete ppms from APO?

Currently we just lock the PVs in R/3 and they change to inactive in APO and thats fine. At this point no matter what I do, since the valid from/to date is in the past, the system obviosuly does not even read them.

How do we get rid of old ppms from APO? Appreciate all your help!

you can delete the PPMs using transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_DEL. Here you can either go by Plan or by Product-Location, Planning status as well. As you are trying to delete the inactive PPMs, you can pull by selecting the status Inactive and do mass deletion

Thanks for the reply. So, is there no way to set an indicator on PV or on the R/3 side so that the CIF master data update job of PPM deletes it from APO?

Thanks for your answers

I am not too sure of any settings in R/3 that deletes the PPMs in APO
