Mass deletion of PO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

There ar many PO's in initial bucket of SNP plannig book....almost for all the componants in testing system.

In order to improve system performance, we want to reduce those numbers.

for the same, we have to delete many Purchase Orders from the system.

Is there any way to multiple deletion of PO's? or setting deletion indicator to all the line items of PO's in all the tables?

or, do we need to develope sepearte program for it?

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Thanks!

Hi Jayprakash,

Since the Purchase Orders are created in R/3, you need to delete them in R/3 (ECC).

You can either create a Z program, or use standard transaction MASS.

Use following steps:

T-code - MASS

Input object type for Purchase Orders and execute.

Selecte Purchase Order Header and execute.

In the subsequent screen, input Purchase Order numbers and execute.

In the next screen, select "deletion indicator" and put "L" for deletion.

You can save variant in all steps, except the last one, since you need to input PO numbers.

This way you can even remove the deletion indicator of previously deleted order.

The flow is simple and quick, however, if deletion is regular one, you need to either save variants or create Z program which will serve purpose.

Hi Jay,

As PO number is alloted from ECC side(only internal number is provided by APO), it is better to mass delete PO's in ECC side either by putting deletion flag and mass delete by constructing a simple Z programme.

Once it is done, run transaction /sapapo/ccr to identify pending ones for deletion if any

You can use transaction /sapapo/rlcdel

with select object as category AG , AH

you can delete it with product location combination also.
