Archive/Delete Sales Order/Schedule History (tdsls5201m000)

Use this session to archive and/or delete sales order history, installment history, and/or sales schedule history.

The history files contain sales order (installment) data and sales schedule data. These files are automatically updated when sales orders are generated and changed and sales orders are deleted. For sales schedules, the files are automatically updated from the Approved status on and next. The total amount of history data can be restricted by deleting the files.

The way in which LN deletes the history data depends on the value of the Method of Deleting Order History Data field in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session.

Note

You can delete history data only if these conditions apply:

  • The order/schedule (line) is processed and therefore no longer available in the actual tables.
  • Financials enables deletion, for example, the history data is no longer required for reconciliation.
  • Deletion is not prevented by the status of linked commissions, rebates, or projects.
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.
