Try CAUFV, AUFK, AFKO AFPO, Depending on what you need it should be in 1 of these.

Dear Kishore,

You cannot delete the material from material master until archiving. To archive the material master, first goto transactionMM71.

Archiving Material Master:Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules. All the SAP archivefunctions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menuwill be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.

Archive a Material Master Record

When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.

You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.

Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer tothis material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in thenetwork graphic.

If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason is given in the log (forexample, a purchase order exists for the material). The log also contains technical data such as the number of materialmaster records read and the number deleted.

And after SARA you must run the program MMREO110N with transaction SE38

to not to see the archieved at table MARA..

Regards

In standard it is not possible to archive just one org element of a material.

to do this you have to follow the instruction given in OSS Note 543279

Data ArchivingGenerally large amounts of database data is produced in the production system of a business application,which often times is reflected in a deterioration of system performance and an increased use of resources.Costs can also be negatively affected by large data volumes, since resources and efforts spent on databaseadministration go up as a result.

Therefore, data from closed business processes, meaning data that is no longer needed in every day businessprocesses, should be moved out of the database, in order to gain a reduction in costs, and improveperformance and system availability. Simply deleting this data is often not a valid option, due to legal dataretention requirements. This means that the data has to be removed from the database and stored in such away that it is always accessible for reading if necessary. This is the task of SAP Data Archiving , which allowsyou to removed data from the database and store it in a consistent and secure manner. The archived data isstored in a file system and from there can be moved to other, more cost efficient storage media.

Data archiving is an administrative task that must be performed regularly, particularly if you arefacing fast growing data volumes. How often you archive largely depends on the growth rate ofyour database tables.

The technological foundation of data archiving is located in the SAP NetWeaver Application Server and isavailable in two different variations:

ADK-based Archiving - ADK-based archiving is used only by ABAP applications that employ ABAParchiving objects in their data archiving projects.

XML-based Archiving - XML-based archiving is employed for XML archiving objects that are used by

ABAP applications with XML interfaces, and for archiving sets used by JAVA applications.
