Archive and Delete Sales Order/Schedule History (tdsls5201m000)

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

The history files contain sales order (installment) and sales schedule data. These files are automatically updated when sales orders are generated, modified, or deleted. For sales schedules, the files are automatically updated when the status is Approved and so on. The history data can be restricted by deleting the files.

You can delete history data only if:

  • 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.
Note
  • The archiving functionality is available in this session only if the Sales Order Archiving Implemented check box is selected in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session, or the Sales Schedule Archiving Implemented check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session.
  • The method to delete the order history data is based on the value of the Method of Deleting Order History Data field in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session.
  • Order history is used as 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, it is recommended to also archive the statistics up to that period.
