Hi Burney,
If your system has not been set up for archiving, there are several basic setup steps to be done which are too extensive to detail here. If you are already doing archiving, in transaction SARA, choose MM_EKKO. Set up all the residence times in the "Application Specific Customising" - choose 1 day for everything. Then in the "archiving" button you can choose the number range of the PO's to be flagged, together with several other criteria if required. Uncheck the "one step procedure" box, check the detail log and test run boxes and execute, The log will tell you how many PO lines will be deactivated and the reasons why any PO's could not be deleted.
Note that once you have set the header deletion flag ekko-loekz, there is no standard way of removing the flag, so you have to have a custom program to undo the action.

There are also a couple of Z programs provided by SAP which may be of use to you
ZELIMDBS (OSS Note 104475) sets the delivery complete flag for PO lines which have been fully delivered or are within the tolerance set in the PO.
ZKOREKAB (OSS Note 83894) corrects an unknown error which will stop some PO's from being flagged and archived.

Regards,
SOP57

Hello experts.

How can we close (make not valid) a number of old Purchase Orders quickly?

Thanks in advance
