Archiving Print Document Line Items (IS-U-IN)

You can use archiving object ISU_PRDOCL to archive print document line items that are no longer required.

During archiving, print document line items that are no longer required are written to one or more archive files.

Note Note

This archiving object has been reworked as part of a project to standardize and optimize data archiving. You can use the reworked archiving object by activating the business function Data Archiving: Standardization of Archiving Objects (technical name: DA_ARCHOBJ_STANDARD_1). For more information, see the business function documentation in the Switch Framework (transaction code: SFW5).

End of the note.

After you have archived the print document line items, you can execute the IS-U standard transactions without any restrictions. The only exceptions are the mass transactions for reversal (bill and total reversal) of print documents. You cannot call up these transactions for documents with lines that have already been archived.

Note Note

To ensure that the IS-U standard transactions also correctly process print documents with archived document line items, a corresponding information structure must be activated in the archive information system.

You should only archive lines of print documents for which you do not want to perform mass reversal.

End of the note.

Recommendation

To avoid greatly increasing the corresponding database tables, the print document line items must be regularly archived in short time periods, especially for short billing periods (such as 1 or 2 months).

To clear space on the database as early as possible, we recommend that you use the application Customizing to make the retention period of the reversed documents shorter than the retention period of the other print documents.

End of the recommendation.

ILM Actions

The ILM Actions checkbox is available for this archiving object when the following conditions are met:

You are working within the SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (SAP NetWeaver ILM) framework.
All the necessary prerequisites are satisfied, for example, the necessary business functions are activated.

The ILM actions allow you to archive data for which the retention periods defined in the Information Retention Manager (IRM) are evaluated. Furthermore, you can make snapshots of data and destroy data that satisfies the appropriate criteria. For more information, see the ILM Actions in the Write Program section of ILM Enhancements for Data Archiving.

Note Note

When you execute the Data Destruction ILM action for archiving object ISU_PRDOCL, the usual archiving checks and preprocessing runs for this object are executed first. The data will only be destroyed if the normal rules for an archiving run are validated.
