Documentation

Definition

Indicator determining how long data remains in the system before being freed for archiving. The determining factor is the posting period number in the individual documents. Special periods belong to the last period of the fiscal year and do not count.

Example

You enter 6 residence periods. Archiving starts in April 2006. The last posting period for which you can archive a document is September 2005.

Assuming a fiscal year with 12 months defined as posting periods, the periods October, November, and December 2005 and January, February, and March 2006 cannot be archived yet as they fall within the six-period residency.
