SAP Note 422485 - Standard BOM items are not deleted

Component : Task Lists - Bills of Material

Summary :
When a free component is deleted from a task list in maintenance, the system only removes the component's assignment from the task list, not from the standard BOM (Bill of Materials). This results in restrictions on material master changes, such as altering the base measurement unit, material type, and the ability to delete or archive the material. Changes are obstructed because the material is still linked in the standard BOM. SAP recommends creating and implementing a function module and a report to handle the deletion of orphaned standard BOM items linked through maintenance task lists. Detailed technical steps for deletions in various SAP releases ensure controlled handling. Further steps involve correction notes and executing the report to clean the BOM items fully.
