Execution of a customer-specific archiving in a SAP ERP 6.0 system. Archiving is based on the account assignment objects (projects, co-orders) to which the individual documents are assigned. To use transaction SARA, you must therefore execute additional preparation and control programs to delimit the projects that can be archived.
Supplement
The standard archiving functions provided by SAP were extended in an earlier project (see Project ID 1504), so that the archiving process depends on the active projects and CO orders. In addition to the accounting documents, the documents from the logistics processes (MM, SD) must also be processed. In the project, reworking is also carried out for previous archivings, in particular the cleansing of the secondary indexes of the FI documents, as well as optimizations of the individually developed programs.
Subject description
Since business processes are mainly handled in projects, the archiving of all dependent objects is controlled by the status of the projects and CO orders. Only data that belongs to completed projects can be archived. For so-called "long-runners", all related postings are stored in the online system. Regular archiving is necessary because the account assignment objects are assigned speaking numbers in which the last digit of the year is used.
