Removing old, but technically incomplete documents from your system : please share your ideas and methods.

[former_member249394]

Hello SCN ILM community,

Please can you share your ideas on how to clear up (ie. archive) old, but technically incomplete documents before migrating systems. Many documents may be excluded from archiving as they are technically incomplete (for example - incorrect status) .

We know there are some SAP reports that can be used to adjust statuses of documents to make them technically possible to archive. These include SAP Note 992587 – “Manually closing completed deliveries” and SAP Note 1390145 – “Delivery can be archived with shipment still on database”, but for other application areas, I am not aware of other notes or strategies.

Many thanks in advance

SAP's SLO group does exactly this kind of work.  You may want to check with them.

HI Karin,

Thanks for the reply.

Some customers are using the SLO route, but others are using custom ABAP route for old documents (possibly those past retention times) also.
