If the deletion program was not started immediately after a previous archiving run, there is a risk that orders will be archived more then once. Therefore, when you start the archiving function the system informs you whether data from previous archiving runs was found.

Enter a variant.

You can only use an existing variant if it is no longer blocked by an archiving job.

To create a new variant, proceed as follows:

Enter the name of the new variant and click on Maintain.

The screen for maintaining variants for archiving production orders is then displayed. The variant contains the selection criteria for selecting the production orders.

Maintain the selection criteria.
Maintain the options:

If necessary, specify a maximum number of orders. In this case, processing is cancelled as soon as the number of orders entered here is reached.
If the Generate archiving file flag is not set, a test run is carried out and archiving statistics are compiled.
If you want to generate the archiving files and delete the data at the same time, set the Generate archiving file flag.
If you want to generate the archive files without deleting the data, set the Deletion program as test run flag.

Click on Continue.
