  Key Concepts: 
  Make obsolete is a term used in SAP's SCM-Master Data component. It is a process that allows users to mark certain materials as obsolete, meaning they are no longer available for use. This process helps to ensure that the materials are not used in any future transactions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To make a material obsolete, users must first access the SCM-Master Data component in SAP. From there, they can search for the material they wish to make obsolete and select the “Make Obsolete” option. This will mark the material as obsolete and prevent it from being used in any future transactions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When making a material obsolete, it is important to ensure that all related documents and transactions have been completed before marking it as such. This will help to ensure that no future transactions are affected by the change. Additionally, it is important to note that once a material has been marked as obsolete, it cannot be reversed.
