Symptom

You use MRP areas and you notice one of the symptoms listed below:

1. You want to delete an MRP area in Customizing for material requirements planning. The deletion is terminated with error message MD 367 "Not possible to delete MRP area &1, as it is assigned to material &2" even though all material master assignments have been deleted (deletion indicator has been set).

2. You cannot remove material master assignments that have a deletion indicator from the overview in the material master even though they are no longer required.

Other Terms

Material requirements planning (MRP) area, MDMA, material master, OMIZ, delete MRP areas, reorganization, MM01, MM02, MM03

Reason and Prerequisites

You can delete the assignment of a material to an MRP area in the material master. The deletion sets a deletion indicator for the respective assignment to the MRP area. However, the entry of the assignment remains in the overview and cannot be removed. This function was not supported up to now.

Solution

Implement report YMRPAREO. You can use this report to delete assignments of materials to MRP areas that are no longer required if a deletion indicator was set before. The report was designed, in particular to delete data that is no longer used from test systems.

Functions

The report sets a deletion indicator for all assignments to MRP areas that you have chosen. Then, the following objects of MRP area assignments with deletion indicators are permanently deleted (if they were not started in test mode):

l MRP lists

l Firming data of requirements planning

l Consumption data

l Forecast data

l Planned independent requirements

l Material master segments for MRP areas

Here, no other checks are carried out. You should only use this report if you do not want to remove the deletion indicators for the MRP area assignments and you no longer require the dependent data. See also the documentation in the report.

Implementation information:

l Call the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38)

l Enter YMRPAREO in the program field.

l Choose "Create".

l The system displays a new window.

l Enter "Reorganization of MRP areas" in the title field.

l Select "Executable program".

l Save program YMRPAREO as a local object.
