Creating Archive Files 

Prerequisites

Master recipes that are to be archived must not be used in the following objects:

First archive these objects before you archive the master recipes that they use.

Before archiving a master recipe, the system does not check whether you have maintained relationships to other master recipes. Relationships across recipes are deleted when the master recipe containing the predecessor phase of the relationship is deleted, even if the recipe with the successor phase is not deleted in the same archiving run.

Procedure

  1. In the SAP menu, choose Logistics ® Production - Process ® Master Data ® Master Recipes ® Recipe and Material List ® Delete Recipes ® With Archiving.

    2. The initial screen for archive administration appears.

  2. Enter archiving object PI_PLAN and choose Archive.
  3. Enter a variant.

    4. The variant comprises the selection criteria and deletion criteria for archiving and deleting master recipes.

    Choose Maintain to create a new variant or check the data of an existing variant.

  4. Choose Start date and enter the start date for the archiving run.
  5. Choose Spool params. and enter the spool parameters.
  6. Choose .

The archive files are created in the background for the start date. After the archive run, the system creates a standard log.

If the Execute automat. indicator is set for the deletion program in archive Customizing, the system automatically starts the deletion program after the archiving run. Note that this option is set in the standard system.

For more information on archive Customizing, see the SAP Library Application Data Archiving and Reorganization (CA-ARC), under Customizing.
