Archiving Objects (LE-WM)
You can archive Warehouse Management (WM) records for the Warehouse Management system using the archiving objects and reports in the following table:
Object |
Table |
Report |
Records |
|---|---|---|---|
RL_TA |
LTAK, LTAP |
RLREOT00S |
Transfer orders |
RL_TB |
LTBK, LTBP |
RLREOB00S |
Transfer requirements |
RL_LUBU |
LUBU |
RLREOU00 |

RL_LINKP |

RLREOI00 |
System inventory records |
RL_LINV |

RLREOH00 |

RL_LSEG |

RLREOL00 |
Stock material movements |
These reports archive processed records that have been in the WM system for a specific number of days. Using these programs, it is possible to archive records for multiple warehouse numbers at the same time.
Note
When you archive transfer orders for which employee performance data is to be recorded, the system checks whether the performance data was processed in full. This is checked in the logical RTL database.
For test purposes, you can display a list of the records to be archived and deleted before you actually archive them. You can also import archived data.
Note
You can use these archiving objects in
Information Lifecycle Management
. You must have activated the corresponding business functions to do this. The system then also shows the
ILM Actions
group box. You can use these actions to carry out archiving, for example, where the retention periods stored in the Information Retention Manager can be evaluated. Additionally, you can create snapshots (copies) of data or destroy data that matches the requirements. For more information, see
ILM Enhancements for Data Archiving
,
ILM Actions in the Write Program
.
Note
Archiving objects RL_LINKP, RL_LINV, RL_LUBU and RL_LSEG were revised in the course of a project to standardize and optimize data archiving. You can use the standardized archiving object by activating the business function
Data Archiving: Standardization of Archiving Objects
(technical name DA_ARCHOBJ_STANDARD_1). For more information, see the business function documentation in the Switch Framework (transaction SFW5) in
Data Archiving: Standardization of Archiving Objects
.
Archiving Objects RL_TA and RL_TB
Write Program
The write program supports the ADK interruption concept, meaning that you can interrupt the write phase and continue it at a later point in time. For more information, see Interrupting and Continuing Archiving Sessions .
On the selection screen for the write program, you can select the documents to be archived using selection criteria in the
Transfer Orders
or
Transfer Requirements
and
Restrictions
group boxes. Under
Process Control
you can specify whether the write job is started in test or production mode. If automatic starting of the deletion program was activated in the archiving object-specific Customizing, you can also specify that the archiving object’s delete program is started with the test mode variant stored in the archiving object-specific Customizing.
When the write program is executed, a compact log is written containing information about the processed data. On the selection screen for the write program, you can specify that a detailed log is displayed. This contains the information found in the compact log plus all the objects that were processed, including the corresponding messages.
Delete Program
The delete program contains the standard variants SAP&PROD (production mode) and SAP&TEST (test mode). During the write and delete sessions, regular progress messages appear in the job log (background processing) and in the status line (dialog).
Access to Archived Data via the Archive Information System
The following field catalogs and information structures are provided for accessing archived transfer orders and requirements via the Archive Information System (transaction SARI):
