Delete multiple variant

Former Member — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:19:08 GMT

I want to delete hundreds of variant. It takes time to delete it one by one thru GOTO~~>Variants~~>Delete.

Any other solution to carry on mass deletion ?

Thanks,

Git

Hi,

u can find all the variants in table 'VARID'...

goto SE16N and enter VARID, before executing type '&SAP_EDIT' in command box and press enter..

here you can delete or edit the entries...

Hope it helps!!

Hi,

you can try to use LSMW. It should be easy to define one batch input for deleting variant and then read all variants from csv file.

Cheers

Thanks both recommendation.

Just want to confirm my restriction that only SE38 is allowed.

SE16N and LSMW are not authorized too

Hi,

Write a simple program.

first get the all required entries from DB table 'VARID' into an internal table.

now, LOOP the above internal table and call FM 'RS_VARIANT_DELETE' by passing the 'REPORT' and 'VARIANT' for each line.

Hope it solves!!

Try this, Click on system->services->reporting.

specify the program name. goto->variants. select your variant and click delete button in the tool bar.

or you can use the FM 'RS_VARIANT_DELETE'.

Try this if you have access to SE80.

Programs -> enter program name -> Execute -> check the program name box -> goto Programs -> select Display ->

Goto -> Variants -> goto Variant -> select Catalogue -> select Deletion criteria -> a window will pop-up with all the variants -> check individually or select all -> hit Delete variant -> say yes to the pop-up to confirm -> BINGO!
