hi

If you created an material by error and you want to delete that material from the data base

The only condition is that this material has to have no material movement recorded.

These are the steps:1

1) Flag material for deletion. transaction MM06

2) Run report MMREO001 - Selection of materials flagged for deletion and select the material

3) Run report MMREO050 Archive Materials to archive the material (some customisig settings might be required)

4) Run report MMREO110 Deletion Program for Archiving Materials to delete the material from the database.

These reports are called by the SARA transaction too.

How often do you have to create a material?

Instead of deleting, in case it was never used, just reuse this number for the next material you have to create.

Hi,

Apart from T-code MM06, you can also adapt following method for removing material permanently

Use transaction MM70 - Material Master->Other->Reorganization->Material->Choose.

Build variant with selection range of material master records to be selected for deletion and maintain run parameters. Execute.

Use transaction MM71 - Material Master-> other-> Reorganization->Material->Reorganization

Build a second variant

Maintain run parameters and execute.

It is also important to remove the records manually from info record, POs, PRs, reservation etc for successful deletion of the material.

Dear,

You can set deletion flag for material with MM06.

Just enter material code, plant and storage location and press enter.

Then if you deleter material at client level tick on check box which is near material code.

Otherwise if you want to delete it at plant level tick on check box near plant ans storage location
