Massdeletion of messages in ME9F

[Former Member]

Hi all

We have a lot of messages in ME9F. We want to delete those messages but unfortunately we haven't found a way how we perform a mass deletion in ME9F. The only way is to click on each message then go to "message details", click on the message and delete it here. It is no fun to do that for thousands of messages.

Does anyone have an idea how we can delete or archive all messages in ME9F?

Thanks in advance and regards

Dear,

Your ABAPer will help writing code to delete all pending messages from NAST table.

Hi

You need to write the Z Program to archive this deletion. There is no specific transaction for deleting messages in ME9F.The table used for this is NAST and there select untransmitted message and tell abaper to write the code.Logic would be considered.

Thanking You.

SAP has a report for deletion: RSCLNAST

However, please read the data management guiide, usually NAST records get archived together with documents that get archived thru data-archiving. e.g. PO messages with archiving object MM_EKKO

SAP has issued a clear warning in the data managment guide that records from NAST shall not be deleted as your data are not consistent anymore, and strongly recommends to use data archving.

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no mass transaction to archive the messages in ME9F instead of manual process. Pleas clarify that do you need these POS at present? If no, please archive the POs , hence the messages will be archived automatically. Otherwise need to to develop Zprogram to archive these messages. Considet the EKKO & EKPO tables in this regard. Thanking you.
