Question:
Hi folks,
has anybody worked on a topic like 'master data lifecycle management' ?
We are in a R/3 4.6c - APO 3.0A scenario with product master, routing and bom and PPM ( no VC ).
We are thinking about an IT process how to create, change and transmitt master data between R/3 and APO and further on how to delete master data with related objects like PPM to product master.
SAP provides programms to delete a product master and a ppm, but there is no relationship between them, as far as we know. So the big question is how to asure a consitency in master data.
Comments are appreciated. Thanks in advandced
Klaus
Answer:
HI Klaus,
Just a wild idea,
1. Is it possible to use a user exit for transaction MM06 (which is used to mark a matyerial for deletion) to delete the production version and then mark the material for deletion,Make sure you run the report for PPM change transfer(RSPPMCHG) before you transfer the material deletion to APO.
2. Using user exit CIFMAT001,coding can be done to carry out a check for the materials marked for deletions and subsequently delete the PPM in APO .
By this you need not carry out the deletion in APO and carry out the deletion from R/3 there by maintaining consistency.
Just a wild guess...hope it will work..if you try it let me know the result.
