When planning an archiving project, you must ensure that no dependent data is archived when it is still required by a productive system. By selecting a suitable sequence for archiving, you can reduce the number of required checks, thereby improving the performance of archiving.

For information about the recommended archiving sequence, see the network graphic for the object in question (display from transaction SARA) and the SAP Library. As mentioned previously, the sequence you select must always be agreed upon with the specialist departments whose data is being archived.

This document cannot be used to describe all data dependencies. The following general dependencies and conditions are worth mentioning:

Master data (for example, article master records) can normally only be archived if it is no longer used in transaction data (for example, purchase orders). In some archiving objects for master data (for example, SD_COND), you can deactivate checks for existing transaction data.

In SD archiving, you can activate checks for existing MM documents.

Order data is used when delivery documents are displayed. Deliveries cannot be displayed if the order document is no longer available.

The following is valid for the archiving sequence in SD:

If this is not done, it may be the case that the billing documents can no longer be displayed as the document with the referenced text is missing.

Note

SAP Note 129310 (Release 3.0D - 4.5B) provides information about correctly referencing texts when using the SD archiving objects RV_LIKP, SD_VBRK, SD_VBAK.

Exceptions:

If this is the case, you should archive the MM data before the CO data.

In the standard system, data for subsequent postings in MM (object MM_ACCTIT) is active. Data for subsequent postings in MM should be archived before other FI data.

Remarks:

If required, you can deactivate the generation of data for subsequent postings. This document contains detailed information about object MM_ACCTIT. See also SAP Note 48009.
