Archiving Base Planning Objects 

Use

You can archive the costing results of base planning objects and delete them from the database.

Integration

Base planning objects can be archived independently of other archiving programs.

Prerequisites

There are no specific Customizing settings you need to make in order to archive base planning objects. You can, however, set general values for archiving, such as the name, the path, and the size of the archive file in Customizing.

For additional information, see:

Depending on the amount of data, each cost estimate (excluding costing items) requires approximately 2,200 bytes of storage space. Each item requires an additional 750 bytes. Long texts require additional space, depending on the length of the text.

To archive base planning objects, you need general authorization for archiving and authorization for the CO_BASEOBJ archiving object. For more information, see User Authorization Checks.
