Displaying Archived Accounting Documents
(FI) 
You
can display individual accounting documents from the archive. You can display
a document using for example the
Archive Information
System, the document display function, or from the display line items
function via the General Ledger, Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable menu.

Documents can only be displayed if an appropriate archive index exists for them.
You can index your FI_DOCUMNT archives using the Archive Information System. The old archive index in table ARIX_BKPF is no longer updated. However, if you have indexed old archives with this index, it will continue to be evaluated in table ARIX_BKPF.
To display archived accounting documents using the Archive Information System or transaction FB03 you need an Archive Information Structure that was created based on one of the following field catalogs provided by SAP:
· SAP_FI_DOC_001 (FI document by header)
· SAP_FI_DOC_002 (FI document by account)
To display archived accounting documents in the General Ledger view (transaction FB03L) you need an infostructure that is based on the following standard field catalog:
· SAP_FI_DOC_003 (FI document G/L view)
An infostructure can only be used if it has been activated and filled.
For
more information on how to use infostructures see
Using the Archive
Information System.
The line items of an account can only be displayed if the corresponding accounting secondary indexes are still available in the system.
If you want the documents that have already been archived to continue to be available in the line item display of an account, you must adjust the secondary index life accordingly in the account life Customizing for document archiving. For more information see Secondary Index Life (FI).
Having the line item report linked with the archive allows you to view all lines items available in the database and in the archive, even if the corresponding documents have been archived and the corresponding FI secondary indexes have been deleted. The archive can be accessed either via the Archive Information System or through a manual selection of the archives. For more information see SAP Note 596865.
