SRM 5.0 Delete product from COMM_PRODUCT

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to delete a product from SRM that is replicated from ECC, when I run COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE I am getting error message ' DELETION WITHOUT ARCHIVING IS NOT ALLOWED IN PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT'. Can't I delete product without archiving? Can some help me out on how to archive a product in SRM (infact, I will be archiving abt 50k).

Thanks a lot for your replies in advance.

Regards,

Shankar

The main reason you are getting this error is that you cannot execute this program in a Production System.

You can use the transaction SARA to archieve the product master data and the corresponding archiving object is PRODUCT_MD.

Hi Kathirvel,

Archiving is a cross application process, hence the procedures remain the same except for the Object and Tables being archived across all areas.

Please find the documentation on the same:

You can follow the same procedure but for the object i mentioned in my previous reply.

Hope this solves your problem.
