You can use this report to perform archiving of VSS cash desk records for the following purposes:

• Keeping archived data available for the VSS cash desk data to be able to comply with business requirements.

• Preventing memory space and run time problems due to increasing movement of data

VSS cash desk records are data records from the database tables /DBE/T_DOC_HEAD, /DBE/T_DOC_LINE, /DBE/T_DOC_BOOK, /DBE/T_OP_LINE, /DBE/T_SESSION, and /DBE/T_SESS_PAYT. These tables log payments on the cash desk.

Prerequisites

The following business functions are activated: ILM, BUPA_ILM_BF, and ERP_CVP_ILM_1.

VSS cash desk records are not archived until the following conditions are satisfied:

• You have closed the session of cash desk work center record of a VSS cash desk record.

• The closing date of the session of cash desk work center lies before the session close date entered.

Integration

This archiving object is assigned to the ILM object DBM_CASHD.

You can use the archiving object within the framework of SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (SAP NetWeaver ILM). A prerequisite for this is that you have activated the associated business functions. The system then additionally shows the ILM Actions frame.

The SAP ILM component supports the entire software lifecycle including the storage, retention, blocking, and deletion of data.

Features

Selection Criteria

You can select VSS cash desk records for an archiving run by the following criteria:

• Cash desk work center

• Session closed before date

Archiving Mode

The archiving and deletion of the data can be carried out in test mode. On the basis of these test runs, runtime, data volume, and selected batches can be checked in advance.

Activities

All these activities are controlled by the central SAP archiving transaction.

• Call up archive management (Tools Administration Administration Data Archiving). Enter /DBE/CASHD as the object name and choose Continue.

• Archive

  You call up the archiving function by choosing the Archiving button.

  The system searches for all VSS cash desk records where the session close date lies before the date entered. If this is the case, the VSS cash desk records found are written to the archive file.

• Delete

  The archive files that have already been created are used as a basis for the deletion of data from the database. You can choose the following deletion options in Customizing by choosing the Customizing button under Technical Settings:

  1. Automatically
     If you set the Start Automatically indicator to active, the system automatically deletes the data in the database once the archiving run has been successfully completed.

  2. Manually
     If you do not set the Start Automatically indicator to active, you must start the deletion program using the Delete button.

• Management

  To go to the overview of all archiving runs for the archiving object /DBE/CASHD, choose the Administration function.
