Could you please suggest me how to get this.

Hi Kavya,

You can try this FM

CSAP_MAT_BOM_DELETE

Use function CSAI_BOM_MAINTAIN. in STPOB the deletion indicator must be set to 'D' for field VBKZ and MVBKZ. To populate the function use values from CSAI_BOM_READ.

This worked for me. I spent some time trying to get it to work but make sure to "COMMIT WORK AND WAIT" or some variation afterwards, I took for granted that the flag in the maintain function module would do this for me. Just wanted to save others some head scratching
