Successful Archiving of MM_EKKO

Hi Experts:

We have started to Archve MM_EKKO. We are deleting large amounts of PO Data. We had written about 80,000 PO's. We tried running the MM_EKKO delete program but it would short dump because of too much data. SAP suggested making the files smaller.

Does anyone have experience on how many PO's will easily arcive and delete? Does anyone know from experience how frequently (monthly, bi-weekly or weekly) this archiving should be done?

Sincerely:

Dennis
