SAP Note 571031 - Handling deletion of Product master or

location product
Note Language: English Version: 11 Validity: Valid Since 2006.11.23

Summary

Symptom
In transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, a product XXX is marked for deletion and the
message 'Product XXX cannot be deleted, because dependent objects still
exist' is displayed.

Other terms
Transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, Deletion of product, transaction /SAPAPO/SSC05,
report /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE, report /SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL

Reason and Prerequisites


A product master or a location product should be marked for deletion when
all preconditions for product deletion have been done.

Solution
In order to successfully delete the product master/location product, you
have to carry out the following steps:

1. Preconditions

a) Remove product from integration model

b) Delete all orders for this product-location which still exist in


the APO system by running the reports /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE or
/SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER (this report is not recommanded to be used
in product system!!) or transactions /SAPAPO/RRP4 or /SAPAPO/RRP4.

c) Use transaction /sapapo/ccr to delete all objects in APO that are


integrated with R/3. The /sapapo/ccr will show the orders as 'Not
in an active integration model' and offers to delete the orders in
APO;

d) Delete the product from ATP tables by running the report


/SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL with the selection according to the product
being deleted. Please check first if the note 520703 and 492169 are
already implemented in the system! Note that this report also
checks the content in table /sapapo/ordpart. However, it might be
necessary to select the option 'Delete inconsistent records in
dependant tables' to remove all data. Therefore, Please make also
sure you have the latest version of the Report (see the collective
note 553476);

e) Delete all related product substitution and location product


substitution using the transaction /SAPAPO/RBA04;

f) Delete the product from all PPMs through the transaction


/SAPAPO/SCC05;

g) Remove the product from external procurement using the transaction


/SAPAPO/PWBSRC2;

h) Remove the product from transportation lanes through the

location product
transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 or /SAPAPO/SCE;

Note: If the lane was created with option 'All products', you
should not care about this condition.

i) Remove the product from quota arrangement through the transaction


/SAPAP/SCC_TQ1;

j) Remove references from the product master or the location product


master using the transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, tab 'Classification';

k) Remove the planning package from the location product master using
the transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, tab 'PP/DS';

l) Remove the product from RTO;

m) Remove the product from product split.

2. Mark deletion flag

a) In transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, select the product (and location in


case of location product);

b) In the menu bar, choose 'Product' and go to 'Mark for deletion'


(Shift+F6);

c) In the popup 'Set deletion Flag' set a flag in the appropriate


field: Leave the field 'Product' empty unless you want to delete
the product master, i.e. in case a location product must be
deleted, the flag has to be set on location only;

d) The deletion can be executed directly or be scheduled for another


time.

N.B.:

e) The message 'Product XXX was created in a different business system


group' is just a warning. It cannot prevent the product deletion.
It is up to the user to continue the deletion process or to cancel
it.

f) Message 'Invalid Planning version' may appear during deletion of


the product. In this case, please perform the followings:

Implement notes 598910 and 601677;

Check if there exist inconsistencies between LiveCache and Database


and correct them using the transaction /SAPAPO/OM17. If the problem
is not solved, implement and run the reports contained in the note
423907 and/or apply the instructions in the note 455708.
