Then Press Enter.

Choose the check boxes, all areas or General data on the next sxreen and say "save".

To check whether the customer has been succesfully marked for deletion or not, go to se11 and see in kna1 table the field LOEVM is 'X' or not.

Thats it.

Ravi

Hi Yaning,

you can't delete customer with that bapi.

try:

set loevm with that bapi (or transaction xd06)

run report <b>sapf056</b> to archive customers

Hi Yaning,

IN SAP Master data sometimes in not deleted from the master data tables.It will be only marked for deletion.

BUt this means that the customer/material/vendor is deleted for all practical purposes.

This bapi also does the same.

If loevm field is marked as 'X' you can't display it in xk03.Check for urself.

For testing,

Chcek a vendor in kna1 table and see if loevm field is space or not.

Also see in xk03 transaction.

If it is space, then do what i have said in my previos post.

It makes the kna1-loevm as 'X'.

now go to xk03 and give the vendor and press enter.

It says the vendor is not created.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

thank U very much!

correct!

as you have said, the deleted vendor is marked as 'X'.

but yet a Problem, in Transaction xk03 i test ,whether the customer is deleted or not. The marked 'X' vendor has not been created. but other vendors which are not marked as 'X' , it says also, the vendor has not been created.

why?

can you tell me , where the problem appears?

thanks

HI Yaning,

I don't know the exact reason but for materials which can be displayed in xk03 before using the BAPI, will not be displayed later(after the usage).

But for the materials that cannot be displayed in xk03 even before the usage of the bapi there may be some other reason.

Please reward if my earlier posts helped you.

Ravi
