Hi,

Please use T.code SARA and the object name MM_MATNR,First Archive and Then Delete.

First Click on the Archive and then Maintain the varient name,if the material has deletion flag,please flag the Option Select deleted materials.

Then schedule immidiate batch job.

Then Do the deletion program in similar way,While running deletion program,You can directly see the archeved material.

Please donot forget to remove the test mode flag from the varient.

Hi Sesidhar,

Archiving object MM_MATNR helps in archiving Material master record (MMR), Some of the pre-requisites to archive MMR are:

1. MMR should be flaged for deletion

2. Technical dependent archiving objects should be archived.

3. There should be no dependent business document open for it. For example - A material should not have pending Account receivables or Account payables / There should be no stocks in the warehouse / and so on..

Basic customizing Archive administration should already been configured. For example: FILE system customizing, Archiving object specific customizing, Storage system configuration, Residence periods and so on.

If you want to mark deletion flag for few MMR then manually you can do otherwise you have to go with the setting up deletion flag with a report.

After meeting above, then you can start archive MM_MATNR, Procedure as follows in ECC6.0 system

Goto SARA > Enter Archiving object MM_MATNR > Click on Write > Create Variant > Select MMR no that you want to archive and delete. > Schedule the job.

Deletion and Store function scheduling depends upon the your configuration in Archiving object specific settings.

Hope this information will give you overall idea of archiving Material master record

MM71 is a Direct Transaction Code for Material Master Reorganization where as SARA is Used for all Archiving Process Such as MMR, VMR PIR, Etc

You can Use MM71 / SARA with archiving Object MM_MATNR

Hi

SARA is the universal tcode for Archiving process

MM71 will directly take you to the archiving process of Material master with the Archiving object.

so for archiving you can use either one of them as per your convenoence & authorization
