  Setting of Document Templates to Historical

Use

With this function, you set a released document template to historical, that is, you assign it the status Historical (HI). This allows you to indicate that a template is no longer in use without having to delete it.

Caution Caution

Assigning the status Historical is final, that is, you cannot edit a historical document template again.

End of the caution.

Integration

When you release a template, you can decide whether all previous versions of the template are set to historical automatically.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled before you can set a template to historical:

  • The template is not included in any other templates.

  • The template is not used in a generation variant.

  • The template is not used as a cover-sheet template or acknowledgement-of-receipt template, that is, it is not entered in Customizing for Product Safety under Assign Templates: Cover Sheets/Acknowledgements of Receipt .

  • The template has the status Released (RE).

Features

  1. Search for the template you want to set to historical.
