What is Archiving? How does it differ from Deletion?

Archiving refers to deleting data from the documents in the database and storing the data in a file, which can be transferred to an archiving system later on. Archiving does not physically delete the documents. Deletion actually removes the documents from the database. To proceed with archiving and deletion you need to:
1. Block posting to these archived master records.
2. Mark (the master records) for deletion: Mark for deletion at the Chart of Accounts area to delete the records from all the Company Codes. However, if you do not want to delete from all the Company Codes, but only from one or more Company Codes then do the same in the Company Code area of the master record(s).
3. Archive all the transaction figures from the relevant documents.

4. Call up a special program to delete the records: The program will check whether that particular document could be deleted. If yes, it will proceed to archive and then to deletion.
