  Archiving Vendor Master Data (FI-AP)

Definition

Vendor master data is archived and deleted using the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB.

Use

Vendor master data is stored in three different areas, and therefore also archived in three different areas:

  • General data

  • FI data (company code-specific)

  • MM data (purchasing organization-specific)

To be able to archive, you must set the deletion flag in the master record . You can set this flag for a complete vendor or for individual company codes or purchasing organizations.

For information on how to set the deletion flag, see Archiving and Deleting Vendor Master Records .

In addition to the setting of the deletion flag, a series of other prerequisites must be met, so that you can archive vendor master data. For more information on the checks the system performs during archiving see Checks (FI-AP) .

Integration

Displaying Archived Vendor Master Data

To display single documents for the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB using Archive Information System you require an information structure that has been created based on one of the following standard field catalogs provided by SAP:

  • SAP_FI_ACCPAY_1 (vendor master data FI)

  • SAP_FIACCPAY_2 (vendor master data SD)

Each information structure must be active and filled.

For more information about information structures, see also Using the Archive Information System .
