To archive material master, use MM71 or FI_ACCPAYB?

[Former Member]

Hi!

We are preparing archiving on material master in our ECC6.0.

We know that FI_ACCPAYB can be used for that purpose.

However, we also are told that we can go t-code MM71 to archive material master as well.

Please inform us whether it is true? And if so, which method is better?

Thanks a lot!

P.S. Actually I notice MM_MATNR is for material master as well. So which one should we

choose among above 3 possibilities?

Hi Linda,

MM_MATNR is the correct object for archiving material master. FI_ACCPAYB is for archiving vendor master.

Please refer to the following link for documentation on archiving material master.

Before archiving material master, you will need to archive all the documents which has reference to the material (such as purchasing documents etc)

While archiving, if any material is not eligible for archiving, you will get an error message in the archive log. Please refer to SAP Note 900537 for the meaning of the error messages.
