Archiving Purchasing Info Records (MM-PUR)Object MM_EINA
for archiving purchasing info records in the MM - Purchasing
component.
Archiving object MM_EINA
archives and deletes data from several tables. You can find out which tables these are by using transaction DB15
(see also Tables and Archiving Objects).
You can extend the write program and the delete program using the Business Add-In (BAdI) ARC_MM_EINA_WRITE
, which allows the archiving of customers’ own additional tables.
The following programs are available for MM_EINA
:
Program | Function |
|---|---|
| Write |
| Delete |
You can use transactions ME15
and ME16
for MM_EINA
instead of a preprocessing program. In these transactions, you can flag purchasing info records for deletion or have the system find deletion proposals.
The write program supports the ADK (Archive Development Kit) interruption concept, which allows you to interrupt the write phase and continue it at a later point in time. If you want to use this function, the Interruption Possible
indicator must be set in Customizing (transaction AOBJ
). This parameter is not preset. For more information, see Interrupting and Continuing Archiving Sessions.
The standard variants SAP&PROD
(production mode) and SAP&TEST
(test mode) are available for the delete program.
During the execution of these programs, progress messages are regularly issued in the job log and in dialog mode (status line).
You can use this archiving object with the ILM object MM_EINA
within SAP Information Lifecycle Management. A prerequisite for this is that you have activated the corresponding Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
business function (transaction SFW5
). The system then additionally shows the ILM Actions
frame. With these actions, you can carry out an archiving in which the retention periods defined in the Information Retention Manager
are evaluated, for example. Furthermore, you can make snapshots (copies) of data or destroy data that satisfies the prerequisites.
