## Job for Deletion Report for Supplier Materials
You can set a supplier raw material to Outdated in the app. The retention date is calculated by ILM and a destruction report R\_EHFND\_CSM\_DES then deletes the data sets. You can create and set up a job to carry out the deletion report R\_EHFND\_CSM\_DES on a daily basis. This report persistently deletes all outdated supplier raw materials and their assignments to their corresponding raw materials. A material is outdated when its retention date ( RETENTION\_DATE ) has passed.
