residence and restention time for archiving SD document

[Former Member]

Folks

I am starting archiving in our company and have question on residence time and retention time of the document.

In which activity or t code we use to specify these timing once we determine that timing after discussing with business.

Can some one specify the IMG activity in where to specify these timings.

thanks

Hi,

To add on with Ashis, Retention time we have to mention in Archive server. For example: In IXOS while creating archive we have to specify retention time in "Years".

-Thanks,

Hi,

Where to define Residence Time and Retention Time?

Residence Time :

Goto SARA ---> Give the object name and press ENTER ( Eg:- SD_VBAK)

Goto Application-Specific Customizing ---> and double click on Archiving Control for Sales Doc

Here you could specify the residence time.

Retention Time :

This is defined while you configure the Content Repository or the Thrid party storage system. The transaction code which could help on this is <OAC0>
