Understanding the Production Archive and Purge Process
PeopleSoft Manufacturing enables you to archive or purge production data contained in production tables to reduce storage needs and increase performance. You can move the production data into archive tables.
Before you archive production data, keep these points in mind:
You can archive data for production IDs and production schedules.
You can archive production data for configured orders (production IDs).
However, configured orders must meet these criteria:
All lines on the related sales order must have a status of Closed or Canceled.
All lines on the direct production order must have a status of Closed or Canceled.
You can archive data for teardown and rework production IDs.
All manufacturing costing must be completed before you can archive production data.
All components must be consumed or deleted before archiving or purging can occur.
All manufacturing accounting lines must be posted to the general ledger before you can archive production data.
If this posting process is not completed, the production orders will be disqualified during the qualification process.
You cannot archive serial genealogy production data.
You cannot purge production IDs that have subcontracted purchase orders.
You may break certain relationships, such as production ID splits and configured production orders.
