Material Replication

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are replicating Materials from ECC to SRM using R3AS.

We have filters in SRM (R3AC1) that allow specific materials to be replicated.

For example say materials A and B were replicated.

Now I change the filter to only allow A flow through.

BUT This does not delete B from SRM.

Also if I delete all materials and do initial load again...GUIDs are changed affecting the existing Shopping Carts?

How do I ensure that what is filtered is only visible to users when they create new carts while old carts are unaffected?

Thanks,

Nikhil

We are creating a custom code to not allow users to select a item that is not active. This will be done when user is creating a new cart and adding an item.

if you change the filter after the inital load , already loaded materials will not be deleted from the system.

that is the reason why material B in your system is not deleted.

material data is one of the important master data and so should not be deleted from the system , is there any reason why you want to to delete the material from your system?

if you dont want to further use the material , it is better to deactivate it . And this should be done only after all the open documents using this materials are closed.

if you deactivate the material without closing already open documents , then you will encounter problems while you work with these documents.

apart from the initial load , it is also possible to update the material changes if required.

Hi,

You can set the product status as 'Locked/ Archived' in Product master data (commpr01). This would not allow users to search for this materials for future shopping carts.
