Archiving Outline Agreements

Your system administrator archives outline purchase agreements at certain time intervals. Archived documents are removed from the database.

You archive outline agreements as follows:

Start of the navigation path Outline agreement Next navigation step Contract (or Scheduling agreement) Follow-on functions Archive End of the navigation path .

You can generate a list of archived agreements as follows:

Start of the navigation path Outline agreements Next navigation step Analyses Archived purchasing documents. End of the navigation path

For detailed information on archiving purchasing documents, refer to the documentation Cross-Application Components , under CA Archiving Application Data (section on MM Materials Management ).

Note Note

This database-oriented archiving must be distinguished from document archiving in optical archiving systems by means of SAP ArchiveLink . If ArchiveLink is used and the appropriate settings are made in ArchiveLink Customizing and Message Customizing in Purchasing, outline agreements that have been outputted as messages can be optically archived. You can view optically archived agreements from within the SAP document display via Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Display originals . End of the navigation path

For more detailed information, refer to the section Storing Outgoing Purchasing Documents (MM - PUR). in the Basis documentation BC SAP ArchiveLink - Application Scenarios .
