Archiving in Asset Accounting (FI-AA)

The archiving process in Asset Accounting can be divided into two steps:

In the first step, the system copies object components and their table entries into an archive file and marks the records to be deleted from the database (Create archive file).
The system compares the archive file with the records flagged in the database and deletes them from the database (Edit archive file).

You can set the system to automatically start the delete program when archive files are created. In this case archiving and reorganization are completed in one step. The relevant control flag is an archiving customizing parameter (for more information, see Archiving in the FI-AA Implementation Guide.

Additional transactions let you reload archive files and display information about archiving sessions (Manage archive files).

If you require further information, see Archiving Procedure.

Note

If an error occurs during the archiving sessions the system aborts the archiving activity without archiving any assets. This ensures that no data is lost. You can then correct the error and restart the archiving session.
