This chapter covers the following topics:
Archiving pricing data enables you to copy pricing data from the pricing application tables to archive tables for long-term data storage.
You can archive price list and modifier lines. The archiving process permanently removes the lines from the related price list or modifier list into the archive tables for storage.
When the archived data is no longer required (and does not need to be retained for legal requirements), then you can use the purge feature to purge the data from the archive tables.
You can archive and purge price list lines and modifier list lines for the following price list and modifier list types:
Agreement Price List
Standard Price List
Deal
Discount List
Freight and Special Charge List
Promotion
Surcharge List
Archiving and purging records reduces the number of pricing records that the pricing engine queries, potentially improving processing performance.
