IDocs: Mass Deletion and Changing Status


Mass Change of SAP IDOC Status
From time to time it becomes necessary to change the status of SAP IDOCs in SAP. The most common scenario is the requirement to mark SAP IDOCs for deletion. There is no good way to mass mark IDOCs for deletion via the standard IDOC processing transaction BD87. However there is a program that will let you change status.
RC1_IDOC_SET_STATUS
CAUTION: This program should be used with great care and consideration. Improper use of this program can result in data consistency issues. Make sure you know what you are deleting, why you are deleting it, and what is required to correctly update you system after deleting.

Example: Marking IDOCs for Deletion In Mass

It is pretty typical for support users to set the deletion flag on IDOCs that have been incorrectly created and have error. When there are a small number of IDOCs this is possible via transaction BD87.
An inbound IDOC in error will have the status 51, when it is marked for deletion it has a status of 68.
