Archiving-FI SARI

[Former Member]

Hi　All、

I have request in hand, related to Archiving. I don’t have any idea about Archiving. All that I know about the request is : There is some Program with vague name

‘GP47A7X4VH809QXJNXP6Y6DG7XQD’ on its Selection Screen we give Company Code, Document No and Fiscal Year.

After executing on the output list when I double click on any Document it takes me to the second list where I can see some more details. On this second list there is one column Description which is coming BLANK. I need to find out how we can get Description text in this list.

Other Information: I can execute the same Pgm through SARI by giving same details in the Selection Screen. When I debug this report and Transaction for the second list, my control remains in some SAP Standard Program, not able to figure out, where should I check this. Is this program auto generated by some other Transaction, which is that Transaction and if I need to do some change where should I do?

Your suggestions will be rewarded.

Thanks. Praveen

Hi Praveen,

The program you mentioned is automatically generated by SAP when an Infostructure is activated using TA: SARI. TA: SARI is what is called as SAP AS. The program is specific to a infostructure and is accessed/executed via TA: SARI. Infostructure is basically a index to archived data. The program is used to access/search for documents in archive storage via Infostructure. The program basically displays a initial list of FI documents that match your input. When you double click on a particular FI document in the list a second list is displayed which is basically the list of line items contained in the FI document. The program eventually calls TA: FB03 to display the FI documents. Do you know if the line items had a description before being archived? What is the infostructure your are using?

Hello Praveen,

The report name you mentioned could be that of an archive information structure, but it also could be a report writer or report painter generated report as well. To see if it is related to an archive information structure, you can go to transaction SARI, click on Custominzing. Then, use the drop down functionality to try and find an archive infostructure. Search for an infostructure related to archive object FI_DOCUMNT (if the report is searching for archived financial documents). There will probably be multiple infostructures for the archive object so you will need to view each of them. When you have selected the infostructure, click on display. Then, click on the Technical data button. If the infostructure has been activated, there will be a Report program generated name at the bottom of the pop-up box.

Check this against the "G*" report name you mentioned.

And, SARI can only used to view archived data.

Thanks For the reply .

Info given was good .

However the problem still remains, The description for Account Group comes from

table SKAT but when i run SARI for some Document the Table entry for this Acct Grp has been shifted or Deleted, so i dont get anything .

I am looking for a solution where i can implement code to get Description from Ztable . But no customer exits available .

This scenario might be very common in Industry, where Archived data moved out of SAP table and Archived Data is used to fetch it .

But even then no replies .

Anyways Thanks for your Input . Once again .

Hi Karin,

Actualli just now came to know that, Data which are archived should not be changed .

But in my requirement we have to change some data which are archived..

May because of that Text doesnt comes...

Is it good idea to copy SARI to ZSARI and make changes in this Zobject to get the achieve this?

Actualli Data only to FI_DOCUMNT will be changed...

CLient earlier was not aware that TExt of the Document is necessary for FI .Audit..

Auditor told them its needed some time back only..

Please help .

Hello again,

I am not quite sure I understand your question, but, it is not possible to change data once it has been archived. There is no work around for this. That is one of the reasons data is archived. So that it is secure and that the auditors know this data has not been changed.

Hello Karin ,

Got your point why data should not be changed .

Let me explain my scenario once again!!

1. Document 1000 with Account No A1 and Text 'Text1' was archived long back .

2. Was the data related to Document 1000 in SKAt table was also archived with it .

When we use SARI to display Archived data, text is retrieved from SKAT from

Archive files or from R3 ?
