Archiving Vendor Master Data (FI-AP) Archiving object FI_ACCPAYB is used to archive and delete vendor master data.
Vendor master data is stored and archived in three different areas:
General data
FI data (for a specific company code)
MM data (purchasing organization-specific)
To archive master data, you must set the deletion flag in the master record . You can set this flag for a complete vendor or for individual company codes or purchasing organizations.
For more information about how to set the deletion flag, see Archiving and Deleting Vendor Master Records .
In addition to the deletion flag, a series of other prerequisites must be met so that you can archive vendor master data. For more information about the checks performed by the system during archiving, see Checks (FI-AP) .
Archiving object FI_ACCPAYB is used to archive data from different tables. For more information about how to display the table names for individual archiving objects, see Tables and Archiving Objects .
