Cascade delete of products in APO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I´m wondering if there are predefined ways for deleting a product and all it´s dependencies totally in APO. (Cascading deletion). I.e. setting a flag in the product master and getting rid of all connected PPM:s, location/product split, quota arrangements etc etc... Anybody knows how to do this efficiently?

Yes, I really wish there was better support to it than there is today. Anyway Supply Chain Engineer seems to be the best we can do in the current solution, so I´ll reward you points for that! Thanks!

Hi,

I wish SAP has provided something like this.

UNfortunately there is no one button where in you can delete all the dependencies

Let me list you the steps to my best knowledge

(1) Supply Chain Engineer -- TRansaction-- /n/sapapo/SCC07

You can delete most of what you have asked

Location, LOcation Product, Product, Resource, Trans Lane, PPM

(2) Remember before this step, you will have to delete all the orders in all versions for this particular product location.

Use report: /sapapo/rlcdelete to do this.

• Sometimes not all the orders get deleted and when you try to delete the master data in SCEngineer, it will say that there are dependencies.

Then you would have to use the " WHERE USED LIST" for each master data and then it will display you the order numbers.

You would have to manually delete each order number using the RLCDELETE report.

Hope this helps.
