You can set the archiving indicator in the business partner through the following channels:

Dialog

You can set the archiving indicator for a business partner in the dialog in the Maintain Business Partner screen on the Status tab page.

If a customer/vendor master record is assigned to the business partner and you set the archiving indicator, then the archiving indicator is also assigned to the customer/vendor master record and vice versa.

For more information, see Archiving in Customer/Vendor Integration. For further information about posting blocks for the customer/vendor master record, see Blocking a Customer Account and Blocking a Vendor Account.

For further information about archiving customer/vendor master records, see Archiving and Deleting a Customer Master Record and Archiving and Deleting a Vendor Master Record.
