Features
To select the BOMs to be archived you choose a selection category and restrict the BOMs to be archived with various selection criteria.
Selection category
You choose whether the BOMs to be archived are selected according to a deletion flag or a date effectivity.
If you choose this option only the BOMs, for which the deletion flag indicator is set, are archived.
BOMs are archived over the entire time period.
If you set a deletion flag for a change status, the system also transfers the deletion flag to all other change statuses. If you reset a deletion flag for a change status, the system also resets the deletion flag for all other change statuses.
If you choose this option all BOM headers and items that lose their effectivity before the key date are deleted, irrespective of whether the BOMs have a deletion flag.
You should carry out this function if, due to changes with history, you generated datasets that are no longer relevant to the current processing situation and that are only required for future reference.
If you choose this option, enter a key date in the Record invalid before field. This key date must be in the past. The system deletes all data records that lose their effectivity before this key date.
