Archiving Vendor Master Data (FI-AP) Vendor master data is archived and deleted using the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB.
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) .
You can archive data from different tables using the archiving object FI_ACCPAYB. To learn how to display the table names for the individual archiving objects, see Tables and Archiving Objects .
