Deletion of Historical Data

[ParagJain]

Hello,

We would like to delete 2 years of historical data from our SAP ERP Production instance (For e.g 2000/2001).  One approach is to use Archiving, but this has own challenges of  covering all objects in all modules and also ensuring that the open items are closed before Archiving.

Would SLT be an approach to achieve this ? It would be good to get a link to some documentation if this is a standard feature with some customization during implementation.

Regards,

Parag.

Hi,

The date based deletion is not supported by SAP LT software as this may lead to lot of inconsistencies in system , reasons can be many and varying based on system design.....

Share your email id and I will send some documentation on this.,

Hi Parag,

As already mentioned by sandeep, date based deletion is not supported by SAP LT software. Standard software delete the data based in company code. you can find the more details / documents at the following link:

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34836

However if you want to delete the data based on date using LT, it can be supported by SAP. Please get in touch with SAP and open a message in CA-LT-SRV component with your deatils and requirement.
