Documentation

General

If an EDI subsystem with archiving options is implemented, the SAP system should be informed of the location of the messages via the archive key. From the point of view of the SAP system, this takes place in:

IDoc inbound processing:
The archive key should be sent in the control record.

Status record inbound processing:
The archive key should be returned with the status report for outbound IDocs. The last key returned is always stored with the IDoc in the SAP system.
