OK, the title of this post might be a bit misleading, but in Maximo 7, you can’t actually delete items from the Item Master. This is not a bug and it’s actually meant to be this way. In order to “delete” an item, you basically just have to change the status of the item to “OBSOLETE”. To do this:
- Go to the Item Master and search for the item you wish to change the status of.
- From the “Select Action” menu select “Change Status”.
- Using the “New Status” drop down list, select the new status.
- In order to ensure that the status is rolled out to all Organizations and Inventory records for this item check the box labeled “Roll New Status to Organizations and Inventory?”.

Just good luck trying to set an item to Obsolete if its attached to a Canceled Work Order
Anyone have any idea what the theory is behind not allowing delete on item master (or tool items for that matter)? More important – why there does not seem to be a thread of documentation on it? It appears the help in max7 was simply a regurgitation of the max6 help which states that you can delete an item master record under the right conditions yet that is not true. I’m perfectly fine with changes but misleading/completely inaccurate documentation is not acceptable.
Chon,
what is the best way to delete a large amount of assets and their history/relationships without starting from a clean database? is there a sql utility to help remove things which will keep other changes such as new applications I have built and maxrelationships i have set?
I don’t know of anything that does what you need.
