Migrating historical data in S/4

180 Views Last edit Dec 11, 2022 at 05:29 AM 2 rev

Hi,

I am working in the procurement space of a large company that has now embarked on the S/4HANA journey (S/4HANA on premise). We have been advised to only bring open purchase orders over to S/4 and archive all closed purchase orders. However, we have not been informed so much about what that actually means and there is not too much information about it on the internet either. We are wondering, how will procurement professionals access closed PO's? We understand that they will be archived, but would they need a separate transaction/application to look at them? Also, we would like to make increasingly use of machine learning/artificial intelligence, don't we need data in order to train the models? Does this work also if the data is stored in the archive? In general, how is data from the archive accessed? As long as data is still easily accessible, there would be no problem in bringing over only open PO's.

Thank you for clarifying!

Best regards
