Archiving materials

[Former Member]

Hi all

I wanna archive some materials which are not used anymore. First of all, using SE38, I executed program MMREO001 and then, while running MMREO050 I face this error:

"Structure IBCOMP is not known in the ABAP Dictionary

    Message no. BA123

Diagnosis

    Structure IBCOMP is contained in the definition of archiving object or

    archiving class MM_MATNR. This structure is not recognized by the ABAP

    Dictionary in the SAP System.

System Response

    Archiving is terminated.

Procedure

    If you are using an SAP archiving object, report this information to

    SAP. If you are using a customer archiving object or a customer

    archiving class, remove structure IBCOMP from the definition of

    archiving object or archiving class MM_MATNR ."

Can anyone help me?

Regards,

Mona

Hi Mona

As per note

945450 IBASE archiving class uses IBCOMP and IBPART

Please carry out the following steps and test again:

1. Call transaction ACLA.
2. Select the class IBASE.
3. In the dialog structure, select the entry 'Tables to be Archived'.
4. Delete the tables IBCOMP and IBPART.
5. Save the changes.

Hope this can help!

I called ACLA and selected IBASE and 'Tables to be Archived'. But while deleting I face this:

what should i do?

[anna_hannon · Accepted solution]

During the deletion process, it may also be necessary to temporarily create new packages to ensure that you can create object directory entries that are necessary for the deletion. Or you can assign to a package, IB06?

what if i choose another package? how can i change the package later?

Now, I have a new problem. I can run program MMREO001 and then MMREO050. But In MMREO050 I face an error:

It seems that there are some documents related to this material but I have just created it and I am sure there in no document for that. Si why should I face such an error??

It actually looks like you have more than just 1 problem.

Regarding message W4125: since this message stands alone - usually it should appear together with another message telling the exact reason - I think the following  OSS note is not in your system: 1329723 - GLM: Information is missing when you archive a material

Further, see the message in the status bar, without fixing this you cannot run it as a production run. Please see

before doing Material archiving i recommend you to have a look at these sap notes

900537 - FAQ: Error messages when archiving materials

These notes could not be implemented in system.

Hi,

   Could you try with SARA transaction with object MM_MATNR

I have errors in SARA too.

[Former Member]

Please check your system release and try with report MMREO050N

[Former Member]

Why should I check  system release and try with report MMREO050N? I mean which question are you answering?

[Former Member]

Archiving of material master record first needs to mark for deletion the material for respective plants and the run the program for archiving.
