Unable to Archive Customer only with General Data

Question

Hi,
I am trying to archive the Customer master only with General Data. I followed the below steps.
1.Execute SAPF047 - To establish the link b/w customer and vendor
2.Tran: XD99 , Set the del flag and confirm the same in xd03
3.Tran: F56A , Select FI_ACCRECV object and perform the following
   1. Preproc => Preprocess resulted that no data found in this category
   2.Write => Preprocess resulted that no data found in this category
   3.Delete  => No data found
Note : I selected "General Master Records" and also tried with "SD Data" and "FI Data".
All resulted the same. Any Hints on this ?
Regards

Hi Prasath,
Please follow the following steps...
1)Go to Transaction <SARA> and give the object name FI_ACCRECV and press ENTER
2)Go to Customizing -> Application-Specific Customizing->Mark customer for deletion (centr.) and mark the customers for deletion(This screen can alternatively be reached using transaction XD06).
3)Schedule the Write variant and execute the jobs
               Data To Be Archived ---> General Data
               Customer -
> Give Customer No to be archived
               Consider Del Indic----
> Checked (If you are not doing step2, this can be unchecked)
               Processing option----
> Select Production mode
4)Select Delete in SARA and run the delete jobs for the data which has been archived in step 3.
I dont see a preprocessing program available for the archiving object FI_ACCRECV. If you have that option available then it should automatically set the deletion indicator when u run the program , ie in that case step 2 can be avoided)
Hope this input helps you.
