Variant Settings for Archiving (FI-AR, SD)
Use
In the variant for the archiving session, you can enter selection criteria for the archiving object FI_ACCRECV. These selection criteria enable you to restrict the amount of customer master data that is archived.
Features
You can choose from the following selection criteria:
The system archives only that master data that lies within the number range you specify.
If you set this indicator, the system archives only general (not chart of account-specific) data.
If you set this indicator, the system archives only company code-specific or FI-specific master data.
If general master data is not selected, then only the FI-dependent data is processed, regardless of the deletion indicator in the general master data.
In FI, you have the option to link customers or vendors. This is carried out by filling fields such as the fiscal address, the dunning recipient or deviating payment recipient. During archiving you have the option, for example, to remove customer A, referred to by customer B, from the database. The reference from B then no longer leads anywhere. If you then still want to archive the customer, you must either delete the link or set this indicator.
This is relevant for archiving in that:
If you set this indicator, the system does not check whether a link exists between the vendor and the selected customer master data.
The system archives the customer master data from the company codes you specified.
If you set this indicator only master data dependent on sales area and business area or SD-specific master data is archived.
If general master data is not selected, then only the data dependent on sales and business area is processed, regardless of the deletion indicator in the general master data.
If you set this indicator, the system does not check whether sales documents exist for the selected customer master data. As this check requires a long runtime and is often unnecessary, you can set this indicator to deactivate this check and thus decrease the runtime of the archiving program.
The system archives the customer master data belonging to the sales organizations you specified.
You cannot archive company code and sales area data in one program run. During the selection you must choose either company code or sales area data.
