Hi,

I believe you cannot physically delete a material...It will be marked for deletion..You can use MM06 to mark for deletion..Check the field MARA-LVORM for deletion flag..

Change number description.

Number used to uniquely identify a change master record.

Use

If you make a change with reference to a change number, or create an

object with a change number, the following functions are at your

disposal:

o The system determines the effectivity parameters

The conditions that the change is effective under can be defined in the

change master record as follows:

- Changes with a date effectivity (valid from date)

- Changes with parameter effectivity (for example: serial no.

effectivity)

o Log of the changes made

o Documentation for the changes

o Revision level to indicate the change status of a material or

document

o Changes released for the different areas in the company.

Hi Swati,

1) Please tell me how to delete material created in MM01.

Material master data is never physically deleted. The flag 'Deleted' will be trun on for the deleted materials. You can find that in MARA table and field LOEKZ.

To flag material for deletion, you can use BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE.
