Function documentationArchiving of Dunning Histories

 

In order to reduce the load on your database, you can archive dunning histories.

Prerequisites

You have specified the residence time in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Start of the navigation path Business Transactions Next navigation step Dunning Notices Next navigation step Archiving End of the navigation path.

Features

You can reduce the burden on your database by archiving dunning histories that you no longer need online. These dunning histories are then deleted from the database and written to an archive file in the file system. You can reload archives. However, this is only possible for complete archives. Before the archiving takes place, the system checks whether the dunned documents have already been archived. This means that you can only archive dunning histories if you have already archived the dunned documents contained in the histories.

Note for Integration with SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management

The current archiving object is integrated with SAP NetWeaver ILM.

If you have configured SAP NetWeaver ILM and this archiving object accordingly, the write program that generates the archive files displays the ILM Actions group box. In this group box, you can choose one of the following radio buttons:

  • Archiving

  • Snapshot

  • Data Destruction

For more information, see the documentation for these radio buttons in the system and in the application help for SAP NetWeaver ILM.

You archive (and also delete) using the SAP standard tools for archiving, the Archive Development Kit. Choose one of the following paths:
