HI,

The field 'Productive' can be set in either transaction OBR3 or OBY6.

The field 'Productive' is a flag for some deletion programs

For example the following programs check this flag and return

an error if this flag is set:

SAPF019 -> Deleting master data

SAPF020 -> Reset transaction data

SAPF023 -> Reset bank data

This prevents deletion programs from resetting data in a company code

by mistake. This is the only implication as far as we are aware and SAP

recommend the flag to be set. If necessary (eg for deletion purposes),

this can be reversed.

The recommendation from SAP is that you to set it in all systems.

The recommendation would be if you wish to have the flag set then to

set in your development system therefore the flag indicator is picked

up with every transport from the development system. There would be

no reason to remove this indicator in your development system.
