Hi Vikram,

Yes it is possible.

You can restore the archived data back to SAP system if the reload program for that archiving object is available. For FI_DOCUMNT archiving object, unfortunately, no reload program is available (recently removed).

If you want to just read the archived data, then you can do so using either the read program or through the transaction SARI or SARE (here, you need to enter the info-structure).

Caution : Reloading / restoring of archived data back to SAP will cause a lot of inconsistencies. SAP recommends to restore the archived data back to SAP just after the archiving.
