IN SAP we can call these are master data like:
1. customer master data
2. Material master data
3.Customer material Information record
4. When we are maintaining condition records like pricing
condition record,rebate condition record,..
THE main purpose of maintaining the master data is that when
we will create any documents in sales like sales
document,the data regarding customer is coming from customer
master and the data regarding material is coming from
material master,and for example in the sales order the
delivery plant is coming from CMIR,OR CUSTOMER MASTER

I have a sales order with several lines. None of the lines has been delivered yet. I would like to cancel some of the lines (items) without deleting them. I mean these lines still have to be in the sales order but they have to be inactive. I tried to use rejection reason but confirmed quantity remained on the line which does not make any sense to me. The other question is if I have a line item with partially delivered quantity and would like to cancel the rest of the quantity that has not been delivered yet. How can I do this?
