Hi there,

I have found the following on SDN
the log is okay, but it is just the log for the write task of archiving.
(Just copied straight from there)

MM74 is a stone age transaction, you should not use these old archiving transactions. Always use SARA transaction for archiving.

In SARA enter MM_SPSTOCK as object and hit enter.
Now you will get some buttons. they represent the usual steps for archiving.
Based on your customizing, you either have to process the deletion step seperatly or it is done in one call (but still 2 individual jobs) with the write step.

I am pretty certain that your customizing - which can be accessed directly from SARA - does not automatically start the deletion job.

Because of this you have to start it manually.
Click deletion button, then button for archive selection.
select the archive you just created with your write job and continue to schedule the deletion job.
The deletion job reads the archive and checks whether the archive can be accessed and read succesfully. And if this is okay then it reads the archive sequentially and deletes the corresponding entry from the MCHA, MCH1 and MCHB tables.

Subject: Deletion of MCHA entries

Hi All

Our client has 500 materials that they wish to disable batch management for. Unfortunately, the initial entry of stocks has already been done
I have already:
1. removed all stocks current and previous period
2. set deletion flag for batches in msc2n
3. run mm74
4. deleted archiving entries

Unfortunately, the batch can still be viewed in MSC3N and the archiving object does not delete MCHA, hence I cannot revert MM02.

My question is how to delete MCHA entries.

Thanks!
