Understanding the Ramifications of Archiving and Purging Production Data

Keep these points in mind when you determine which production data you want to archive or purge:

• For production ID splits, if you purge this data, you will not be able to see the split history.

• For configured production IDs, when a configured production order is purged, you will not be able to access the Production ID link from the Direct Production Order inquiry page.

  This link enables you to access the Production ID Maintenance component. Therefore, you will not be able to view any transaction history associated with this configured order.

• For accounting line drilldowns, you must make sure that the accounting lines are posted to the journal entry before purging this data.

  Once you have purged the production data, you will not be able to see the accounting line drilldowns (Cost Management Line Drill Down page).
