Archiving of External Payment Information

In order to reduce the load on your database, you can archive external payment information.

Prerequisites

You have activated the archive information structure for external payment information. (See Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Start of the navigation path Business Transactions Next navigation step Payments Processing Incoming and Outgoing Payments External Cash Desk Services Archiving End of the navigation path ). For more information on the prerequisites for archiving, see the documentation of the archiving report (RFKKEXCAR01).

Features

You can reduce the burden on your database by archiving external payment information that you no longer need online. These entries are then deleted from the database and written to an archive database.

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.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Periodic Processing Next navigation step Archive Data External Payment Information End of the navigation path . You go directly to transaction SARA. The archiving object is FI_MKKEXC. The associated programs are:
