Archive/Delete Purchase Order/Schedule History (tdpur5201m000)

Use this session to archive and/or delete purchase order history and/or purchase schedule history.

The way in which LN deletes the history data depends on the value of the Method of Deleting Order History Data field in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.

Note
  • To delete the order/schedule history, the order/schedule (line) can no longer be present in the actual tables. In other words, the order/schedule (line) is invoiced and logistically completed.

  • You can only delete history data if:

    • The data is no longer needed for reconciliation purposes.

      As a result, you can only delete order/schedule history data as long as the financial transactions of the order/schedule (line):

      • Are Finally Accepted in the Operations Management - Financial Reconciliation (tfgld4595m000) session.
      • Are processed in a financial period that has the status Closed or Finally Closed in the Period Status (tfgld0107m000) session.
    • The data is included in updating the statistics in the Update Statistics (tdsta2250m000) session. This only applies if statistics is implemented, which you can set in the Purchase/Sales Statistics (STA) field of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Important!

Order history is the basis for statistics. Archiving and/or deleting order history limits a full update of statistics. If you archive the order history up to a certain period in time, it is recommended to archive the statistics also up to that period.
