The user's s/4hana public cloud system display is inconsistent with the knowledge "3111463".

Hello expert,

3111463 - In Manage Product Master Data, search for a product which is Marked for Deletion and gives "Invalid entry" (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition all versions; SAP S/4HANA Cloud all versions)

A product marked for deletion should not be available for further usage outside the Manage Product Master Data application. Thus these products are unavailable for selection via the search help/value help.

But currently, it is not working as per design. In the user's s/4hana public cloud, the product data with deletion mark still was shown when using select material via the search help/value help. This is inconsistent with the knowledge “3111463". 

Do you think this is a bug in the user's system? How can I correct it? Thanks!

eg:1000012520 , has already was marked for deletion, but this product data still can be displayed via search help/value help.

Best regards,

Wendy

Hello @WendyDu 

A Material is only logical deleted if its marked for Deletion . the deletion flag can be removed in the Product Master again .

To prevent the material from being used you can set the material status to blocked

If you dont want the material to be displayed in the Manage Product Master Data app then archiving using the

object MM_MATNR is the only option

Best Regards

Hello @Enda,

I appreciate your help very much.

Yes, after setting the material status to blocked, this material can't be used to create a sales order. However, it can still be shown when using select material via search help/value help. This is inconsistent with the standard of knowledge “3111463".  I am so confused.
