residence and restention time for archiving object

Folks

I am starting archiving in our company and have question on residence time and retention time of the document.

In which activity or t code we use to specify these timing once we determine that timing after discussing with business.

So we have to specify these timing by module like SD ,MM or individually for each archiving object eg

SD_VBKA

Can some one specify the IMG activity in where to specify these timings or direction in this area

thanks
