Variant Configuration – Delete Class Assignment

After yesterday’s post, I thought I’d throw this one in there too.  In your Development environment you may find that you need to delete class assignment of a class or another material inside of CL24N or CU42.  It could be you need a smaller class, or just accidentally linked a material that shouldn’t have been connected.  Why isn’t the issue.  You got yourself in a pickle, it’s dev, so you’re willing to live with the potential inconsistencies in order to get your model right.  After all, like we discussed yesterday, you absolutely, positively do NOT do this in production.  Then you use ECM or make a new material and replace it like any other engineering type change.  Ok… now that I have that out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff =)  You can use SE38 to put the breakpoint here straightway (it’s by far the fastest way).

Program: LCLFMF2D

Form: LOESCHEN

          if sy–subrc is initial.
call function l_check_function
exporting
cucp_var_class_type       = allkssk–klart
cucp_root_object_key      = allkssk–objek
cucp_root_object_table    = sobtab
cucp_datuv                = rmclf–datuv1
cucp_aennr                = rmclf–aennr1
exceptions
deletion_allowed          = 1
deletion_allowed_with_ecm = 2
others                    = 3.
case sy–subrc.

 

Set sy-subrc = 1

Then execute the remainder of the code (F8).  That’s all there is to it 🙂

it’s scary that it could be that easy to delete class assignment, even though SAP transactions won’t let you do it =).
