Data Archiving

Hi Expert,

I had a very old company which have business since July 2011~June 2012 (few months operations) and have been stopped since July 2012~Jun 2013. Now I need to use back this company data, however wish to archive/clear all the old transactions and leaving master unchanged.

I run the period-end closing for July'11~Jun12 (financial period 2011) sucessfully with period closed. However, what is the reason when I run Data Archive Wizard (Start New Data Archive Run), there is no drop down which allows me to choose the period code for archiving?

I did perform the backup before running the data archive and we want to archive old S/O, P/O etc. to avoid mixing old data to the transactions after 1 year stop, is there a way to do so?

Alternately, is there a tools to clear all transactions but leaving all master data in the same company?

We are using: SAPB1 8.80 pl:19

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Joan.
