Archiving General Site Data (LO-MD-PL)

 

Archiving object WS_ACSITE is used to archive site master records in the Plant master component.

 

To discontinue a site you created in the system, the associated master data is stored as described in this archiving object.

A separate archiving object is provided for general site data that is used to archive the inventory management level of a site. The object contains the general site and valuation area data.

Structure

For information about how you display this archiving object, see Tables and Archiving Objects. Enter WS_ACSITE as the archiving object.

Integration

A site always has customer data. It may also have vendor data. Like archiving for customers and vendors, you archive sites in three steps:

  1. You archive general site data (archiving object WS_ACSITE)

  2. You archive customer data (archiving object FI_ACCRECV)

  3. You archive vendor data (archiving object FI_ACCPAYB)

This ensures that the customer data for a site is archived in the customer archive file and the vendor data for a site is archived in the vendor archive file. The advantage of this is that if you want to access archived customer or vendor data at a later date, you need only look in one relevant archive file.

In the Retail environment, each site is assigned exactly one valuation area. In the Industry environment, a number of plants can be assigned to one valuation area. The valuation area is archived together with the site so that the valuation area can be reconstructed if data is reloaded. Customer and vendor data must be deleted using the appropriate archiving objects.

A reloading program is available that retrieves the general site data, and, if necessary, the valuation area. You can reload the customer and vendor data using the appropriate archiving objects.

ILM-related Information for the Archiving Object

The SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component supports the entire software lifecycle including the storage, retention, blocking, and deletion of data.

SAP Retail provides ILM objects that enhance archiving objects with the information for data retention. For more information, see ILM Objects in SAP Retail.
