Product Category Deletion in SRM (not with Hierarchy)

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Certain Product categories are to be deleted in SRM which belong to different R3 Back end systems

I tried the COMM_HIERARCHY Tx in SRM and did the following:

Select the Product assigned to the relebvant Back end system and delete manually

But I observed that there are dependencies as in case this P Category is assigned to some Pgrps as RESP_PRCAT

in which case , this assignment is to be deleted prior to deleting the Pcategory from the system

It is a huge and manual work.

Did anybody come across such a scenario?

Are there any standard reports by SAP or customized reports developed which can be made use of?

Hi,

If Product category have ben created in SRM directly (no replication from ECC) : you can delete them directly from transaction comm_hierarchy.

If Product category have been replicated from ECC, you cannot delete from comm-hierarchy (error message).

You can delete the entire hierarchy from program COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE.

Hi All,

Yes you are right.

All the Product Categories identified for deletion are replicated from the Back end systems.

I was just waiting for a reaction from anybody who probably would hav developed a custom report.

Hi Nagarajan,

You cna use the standard report "COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE" which SAP has provided instead of developing a custom one!

P.S. Close the thread if your query is answered.

Hi,

Use the following reports

COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL Used to delete product master data.

COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE Used to delete product master data.

For executing above reports please register your user id and program names in below table then only you can execute above reports.COMC_PR_TOOL_REG

Hope this helps,

Hello ,

We would like to delete some Product Categories say (200) in a particular Hierarchy (containing about 3000 categories) and not the Hierarchy itself.

Any clues pls?
