Reorganization in POS Outbound 

Use

As time goes on, data collects in the system that is no longer required for current business. You can archive some of the data and then delete it.

Integration

For more general information on this topic, see Archiving and Deleting Data in the POS Interface. You should also read the section, Implied Deletion of POS Objects.

Features

Deleting main EANs

The system sends article master data, EAN references, set assignments, and follow-on items only if a main EAN is available on the date for sending. Therefore, you should not delete a main EAN as long as the article belonging to it is still being managed.

Deleting conditions (prices)

Never delete conditions directly (for example, by deleting or overwriting them with newly created areas or conditions). The areas you have deleted cannot be recognized by the POS outbound analysis. If you try to delete conditions directly, this will lead to permanent inconsistencies in the POS systems.

To ensure POS outbound continues to function properly, carry out the following steps:

...

       1.      In transaction VK12, set the condition’s validity end date (to date) to Today.

In the next change run, the system initializes the article master record belonging to the condition again, and downloads the remaining price information in chronological order.

       2.      Once the change message is completed and has status OK, you can delete the condition from the system.

Deleting units of measure

Deleting individual units of measure

If several units of measure for an article already exist in the POS system and you want to delete some of them individually, you cannot do this directly for each unit of measure, as otherwise the main EANs would be deleted too.

Carry out the same steps as described in Deleting Conditions or perform the following steps:

...

       1.      If your POS system requires an explicit deletion record, then create a new main EAN and change the validity interval of the sales price.

In the next change run, the system formats an implied deletion record for the unit of measure concerned with the old main EAN. The system also creates a new record for the new main EAN, but with a price that is only valid on the current date.

       2.      Once the change message is completed with status OK, you can delete the condition from the system.

Deleting all units of measure for an article

If there are one or more units of measure for an article in your POS system and you want to delete all of them, set the article’s administration end date to the current date(transaction MM42, view POS).

Alternatively, you could discontinue the article for that specific store.

The system creates a deletion record for all the units of measure that exist in the POS systems.

Deleting Bonus Buys

Use transaction VBK6 to delete bonus buys. After deleting the bonus buys from the SAP system, start program BBY_POS_DELETE using the above transaction to create deletion records for the POS systems concerned. If you are expecting a lot of deletion records, do not run the program online. Plan it to run daily in the background.
