Checks (FI-AR, SD) (SAP Library - Sales and Distribution (SD))

Checks (FI-AR, SD)

A number of conditions must be met to ensure that only documents no longer needed in the online system are archived. The archiving program contains a number of checks to prevent inconsistencies occurring.

The system automatically checks whether:

B segment data (company code and sales area-specific data) is still present for the customer master in Sales and Distribution and in Financial Accounting

The customer master is contained in a customer hierarchy

The customer master is being used as a partner function or for a customer that has not been archived

In these three cases the customer master is not archived.

Recommendation

To be able to archive customer data from the sales + distribution-specific area, you must first archive the sales + distribution documents from any given account to be archived.

Example

You can:

Archive the general master data by itself

In this case, B segments should already have been archived (company code and sales area-specific data).

Archive the sales and distribution data for certain sales organizations

The system checks whether sales + distribution documents exist for the customers to be archived.
