I need to delete some material from my material master. I have marked them for deletion but what do I do in the next step?
I want the entires in the included tables (MARA, MARC...) to be deleted as well.
 

Next step is transaction SARA, object MM_MATNR, first step is archiving (which means read according selection and writing to the file system or archive system) second step is deleting (which means verifying the archive by reading it and delete the archived records from the data base)
All other steps (buttons) are optional.
 

In transaction SARA I go to archive -> create a variant and execute.
When I go back to SARA for deletion I don't have any archive selection- What shall I do?
 

Looks like the customizing for archiving is not made.
I guess your job could not write an archive because of missing or wrong paths for the archive, or to few space.
Go into SARA again and click the JOB overview button. Look for your jobs and check the job log for details.
Then contact your basis people and ask them to setup archiving.

Usually archiving is not for deleting of any data. Its purpose is to archive, to keep the database small, to keep good performance for daily business, to keep the data for auditors of any kind. Even users can can have access to specific data in the archive. The data is not lost, it is just on a different medium, and not in direct access in the standard table.
Only if you delete the archive, you really should make an archive strategie, then the data is lost forever.

By the way, SAP does as well a lot of checks before something can be archived. If your material master is used in an e.g. open PO, then SAP does not archive the material master.
Is your material master used somewhere? If not used, why not just using and changing this one when a new material of this type should be created.

Account determination for GI for dlv  

Although I am a ABAP techie, my task involved setting up new acount determination. It looks like I have done what is required but so far no luck.

Requirement: We have a new material and user wants the account documents being created at GI for delivery(mvt type 601) to be posted to different GL account.

In SPRO->MM-->Valuation and Account Assignments-->Account determination-->Account determination w/o wizard-->configure automatic

I have defined new accounts for Material/mvt type combination. This material has new valuation class.

The account key under which I have defined are GBB-VAX

When I do GI in VL01N, material document is getting created. In the line item of mat.doc, I could see the account value in GLAccount field.

However it is not creating any accounting documents.
Anybody familiar with this, please help me because I have already spend like 20 hrs on this.

 
The accounting not generated could due to the setup up for material attributes in OMS2.  Otherwise, please check the value for the material in material master.  Accounting document is not generated because it simply does not have any financial impact.
 

You are right. I saw the reply little late.
I debugged SAP mat.document posting and found out that standard price for material in costing view is not maintained. because of this accounting document creation does not happen.

Appreciate ur help.
