2465684 - How to Nullify Safety Stock Value in Material Master Data?

You have a requirement to phase-out some materials to archive them and would like to know if there's a mass change option available.

SAP Business ByDesign

The quantity field SafetyStockQuantityValue cannot be updated to a null value using the Migration Tool due to the framework of the same. It is also not changeable through the Mass Change function in the Material work center view.

However, it is possible to set the field to zero using the A2X web service ManageMaterialIn. Sample payload is as follows:

<Material actionCode="02">
<InternalID>XYZ</InternalID>
<Planning actionCode="04">
<SupplyPlanning actionCode="04">
<SupplyPlanningAreaID>ABC</SupplyPlanningAreaID>
<SafetyStockQuantityValue>0</SafetyStockQuantityValue>
</SupplyPlanning>
</Planning>
</Material>

(Where XYZ stands for the ID of the material to be changed and ABC stands for the ID of the planning area of which the safety stock will be nullified.)
