Prerequisites
Before reloading check data, you must ensure that the appropriate archive files are on the local drive so that the program can access them.
In check lot management, you can view information on the archiving of a check lot. To display this information, proceed as follows: From the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Financial Accounting choose Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Business Transactions ® Outgoing Payments ® Automatic Outgoing Payments ® Payment Media ® Check Management.
Individual check lots are indicated as Partially Archived or Archived as appropriate. A check lot is indicated as Archived if the system has written all the checks to the archive file and deleted them from the database. A check lot is indicated as Partially Archived if some checks remain in the system after the deletion program is run.
The system assigns the indicator to the check lot when checks have been deleted for the first time after an archiving session, and it updates the indicator with each additional deletion or reload.
