Archiving sales orders and not the contracts

Former Member

Hi All,

We have requirement in which business wants to archive the bills and sales orders on the contracts but not contracts. Contracts have multiple line items and each line item is linked to WBS code (line items and WBS codes have 1:1 relationship). Since business doesnt have right check points to identify the WBS/contracts which are eligible for archiving (Deletion Flag cannot be used) they dont want to archive WBS/contracts. We are aware that we can archive only sales orders by mentioning the document type (of sales orders) in write program for the object SD_VBAK. But we are not sure about the following facts -

1. Is it right to archive only Sales orders and not contract?

2. Does it lead to any data inconsistency? Any other impacts??

3. Since WBS codes are linked to contracts, will SD_VBAK be used to archive contracts & WBS or we need a seperate archiving object?

Inputs on these points will be appreciated.

Hi Vinu/Raneesh,

We have a custom transaction which creates a sales contract using VA41, WBS using CJ01 and link contract to WBS.

Hi Raneesh ,

Can you clarify whether the contract you mean is Sales Contract (VA41) or WBS structure. As per your query, at someplaces it looks like sales contract and someplaces it looks like WBS.
