Our SAP ECC6 launched on 2013-07 and do data archive regularly.
However, the EKPO table size keeps rising all the time, current table size: 21.25GB, number of records: 20,101,749.
I found there are still plenty of history records, with the SQL statement :
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SAPPRD.EKPO WHERE AEDAT BETWEEN '20160101' AND '20161231'
I found:
2015, no. of history reco: 9,722,328, 48.37% of the total no. of records.
2014, 4,486,634, 22.32% 2013-07 to 2013-12: 2,201,581, 10.95%
2013-01 to 2013-06: 1,403,960, 6.98%
I would like to know:
1. T-code OLME, 'Purchase order', 'Define Tolerance Limit for Archiving',
2. The Residence Time 1 of all the Purchase Doc Types are : 90.
3. The Residence Time 2 of all the Purchase Doc Types are : 30.
4. Why there are so many history records in EKPO even we do SAP data archive regularly?
Any ideal?
I am expecting your answers.
Thanks a lot.
