Re: Changing UOM on Planning or Logistics Tab

Hello Matt

You cannot delete the product if it is already activated for Purchasing, Logistics, Planning, Availability Confirmation, Sales and Valuation, However you can block the Material only for Purchasing and Sales. The status of Logistics, Planning, Availability Confirmation, and Valuation are not allowed to block.

The reason for this behavior is, if the Material is used for Logistics, Planning, AvailabilityConfirmation, and Valuation, blocking the status will end up in inconsistencies in the Business transaction Documents whichever uses the Material. So, in general it is not allowed to block the status of Material for Logistics, Planning, AvailabilityConfirmation, and Valuation.

But, once you block the Material for Purchasing and Sales, then those Materials are never used for Sales and Purchasing. Which means no new entries of these materials can be created in the system. But Material which have already in Logistics (or in any SCM process) will remain unaffected.

Steps to block a Product:

1. Go to Product Data work center.
2. Select Materials or Services view.
3. Select a Material or Service.
4. Select View All button.
5. Go to respective Business area tab (Purchasing and Sales). 
6. Change the status from Active to Blocked.

You may refer to the case document for more details.
