Archiving Print Documents - Cancel/Rebill Impacts?

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone.  I have a question regarding archiving of Print Documents and its related items for a period such as billing documents and FI-CA documents.  In particular, the question is regarding cancel/rebill.  Does anyone have some feedback they can provide where they have pursued archiving such objects and if so, how has this impacted the cancel/rebill process.  For example, do you still find yourself in a position to use EABICO (whether ERP or via CRM) or have you needed to institute a special procedure when canceling/rebilling within an archived billing period?  I've heard feedback where manual billing documents have been used as a means to accomplish this task but I'm curious to know of any other methods you may have tried.

In reviewing the online help documentation is states that archived print documents can be displayed but not reversed?  Has anyone found this to be true or can you still use the direct EA13 method to reverse a print document?

Any feedback you can share would be appreciated.

Hi,

Yes that's true. Once you archive print document, it is available in diaply mode only. You wont be able to reverse the print document. For any correction/adjustments to be made, one can issue credit/debit memo through manual bill.

Archive documents can be restored and made available for use; however it is not recommended.

Note: One has to maintain retention period for archiving of any document and generally it is set based on practicle business scenarios. Hence rare chances of correction post archiving which can be managed through manual bill.
