Mark for deletion and Discontinuation difference?

[Former Member]

Hello,

What is the difference between using MM17 and WSE4 for an article. I understand that using MM17 i can mark the article for deletion and by using WSE4 i would make the article to be discontinued. But when we run the archiving program will the article be removed from the system in both the cases?

Thanks,

Anju.

Hi,

Only the article makred for deletion will be archived after the necessary conditions for archiving are met.

Hi Anju,

Marked for Deletion :

When you mark an article for deletion,the following consequences occur

1)The listing conditions ared deleted

2)The Article master record remains valid

3)Stock may be available

4)You can sell the article

5)You can't place any orders on this article

Discontinuation of Article :

When you discontinue any article,the following consequences occur

1)Article master data is deleted from the database itself

2)Purchasing info records are deleted

4)Listing conditions are also deleted

Hope it helps.

Rgds,

Aram.
