Changing Archived Data ==>

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have archived FI Documents .

To see Archived Data we use SARI which ultimately calls FB03 to display

Account No details .

We have to change some of the archived Data . Is it possible ?

When we display archived data, does R3 comes into picture or data is read from some other source..

Kindly share some info on this..

Generally not possible. I think the only way to change it would be to "un-archive" it, but this is not recommended by SAP.

Hi Rob/Priya

Thanks for your replies .

I ran SARI in debugging mode to display archived document, when i docuble to click on the first output screen, after some time FM 'FI_DOCUMENT_ARCH_AS_FB03' is called which

CALL s Transaction FB03 , after this for Account Description control calls perform

skat_read(SAPFF011) at this time nothing is read from SKAT and hence no description on the second output screen .

Please tell, if data from SKAT was also archived ? Is it possible to read some Ztable at above point in perform skat_read ? i looked for OSS Notes but didnt find anyone and no customer exit available .

What could be the possible solution to retrieve the descrition text for Account No.

Thanks in advance..Kindly respond !!

go to DB15 and give FI archive object.If you are able to see SKAT in the list of ' deletion only' table then probably data is archived.But in that case also it should display whatever was archived...

HI Priya

I checked in SARA for the Object FI_DOCUMNT, SKAT was not available in the

Tables with Deletion Indicator , Does it mean that SKAT data was not archived ?

But when i check SKAT with the Account Number, no entries found ?

Can you give some idea on skat_read above ?

If data in SKAT was shifted to some ZTABLE is it possible to read this ZTABLE for Display calling FB03 ..

Thanks,

Praveen.

It's possible to delete GL accounts by archiving them, but:

Note

The program for deleting master records also takes account of those master records marked for deletion. However, you should only use this program to delete test data before you go live with the system.

I have no clue...but are you sure the data was displayed correctly before archive?

Hi,

The data from table SKAT is not archived via archive object FI_DOCUMNT. It is archived using the object FI_ACCOUNT. Check with your administrator if they are archiving FI_ACCOUNT object. If they are not archiving FI_ACCOUNT then SKAT table data is in database itself.

Hope this helps

Cheers!

Hey Praveen,

It is not possible to change archived data.Read only access is given to archive files.

regarding your second question...archived data is displayed depending on its storage location.You can store the archived data in R/3 file system and display them directly using SARI.

3rd party storage - access to archived data is achieved thro interfaces connecting ADK.

Thanks,

Priya.
