Archiving Customer Master - SD Data

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I am new member of SDN and seeking your expert advice. A set of customers which are being created incorrectly need to be archived. These customers are also extended to company codes and sales area (partner assigned into partner tab). No transaction data is being created for these customers.

I am using the following steps to archive it

Step1: Flagged all these customers through transaction XD06 (Ticked deletion flag for all area)

Step2: Use Txn SARA with the archiving object u201CFI_ACCRECVu201D.

Step3: Under first option u201CWRITEu201D created a variant VAR01 with drop down value u201CFI Datau201D , customer number & company code. I also ticked option u201CConsider deletion indicatoru201D and under processing mode selected option u201CProduction Modeu201D . Also entered start date, spool parameters and executed it which created spool file.

Step4: Select the second option u201CDeleteu201D with required parameters and it worked well. (Company code data archived)

Problem start while doing the same for sales area

Step5: I repeated the same process by selecting another variant VAR02 with drop down value u201CSD Datau201D, customer number & sales org. After executing this it generate the spool file which has a message u201Cu201DUse in partner roles (KNVP)u201D and doesnu2019t create any file for DELETE steps.

Could you please suggest how to fix this issue? I hope I am clear with my explanation.

Regards,

Sunny

Isn't it possible that the customer you want to archive is set as a partner in another customer which is not planned to be archived? In this case the archiving would cause inconsistency...

Please check the problem in SE16+KNVP --> enter the to-be-archived customer in KNVP-KUNN2 and execute. In KNVP-KUNNR you will see to which customer/sales area it is assigned as partner...
