IDocs and Workitems

Large numbers of IDocs and workitems are generated in an SAP Retail system when, for example, sales data is processed at POS inbound. A considerable amount of this data can be removed from the system after a relatively short period of time (normally after a few days). For more information about this, see the Data Prevention Checklist (in SAPNet, http://service.sap.com/data-archiving) and Archiving and Deleting Data in POS Interface.

RIS Data

Use SAP Copy Management to delete data that is no longer required. Choosing to delete or archive data is an organizational issue and varies according to the individual situation. Data that you may require at a later date can be archived. Transaction MCSX is used to generate an archiving object for the relevant structure. The archiving object carries the name of the structure (object MC_Snnn). For more information, see the Data Prevention Checklist.
