This document completes the general documentation by describing the archiving and purging processes for tables.
SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on Archiving/Purging.

It presents:

  • the parameters with an impact on the processing,
  • the prerequisites of archiving/purging process for certain tables.

Parameter with impact on archiving/purging process

Fixed Assets Module

During the archiving/purging process, 3 FYs are stored by default in the operation folder. However this number of FYs may be modified through dedicated parameters:

SEEWARNING This parameter only applies to financial assets, especially to the following records:

  • Assets from the asset base,
  • Depreciation details of previous FYs.

They do not apply to the event archiving/purging which affects all the closed FYs.

EXPENDITURES

EVELOF - Events of closed FYs

The archiving/purging affects the events for which the effective date (EVTDAT) is within the closed FY of each depreciation context.
The archive/purge criterion is defined according to the event effective date and to the FY and period statuses corresponding to the context (Accounting & fiscal for events without any plan mention).

ASSETS

FASISS - Assets from the asset base

The archiving/purging process deals with the following:

--> the assets (FXDASSETS table ) complying with the following criteria:

      • they are out: their issue dates are specified,
      • their issues are "actual" (the value for the Simulated issue indicator is No),
      • their issue dates fall before the start date of the current FY - n FYs (where n represents the value of the parameter NBEXNOHIS - No of closed FYs to archive), for each depreciation context.

--> their depreciations (DEPREC table ),
--> their events (EFAS* tables, see below),
--> their linked expenses (LAYOUTFAS table),
--> the events generated for these expenses (ELOF* tables, see below)
--> the linked physical elements (PHYELT table),
--> the events associated with these physical elements (EPHY* tables, see below).

Example Without any modification of NBEXNOHIS value, the number of closed FYs to save equals 3.

Accounting and fiscal context.
01/01/2007 - 31/12/2007: closed
01/01/2008 - 31/12/2008: closed
01/01/2009 - 31/12/2009: closed
01/01/2010 - 31/12/2010: closed
01/01/2011 - 31/12/2011: current

IAS/IFRS context
01/10/2007 - 30/09/2008: closed
01/10/2008 - 30/09/2009: closed
01/10/2009 - 30/09/2010: closed
01/10/2010 - 30/09/2011: current

Only the events for which the issue date is before 01/10/2007, are taken into account.

FASDEPCLO - Charge of closed FYs

The archiving/purging affects depreciation (DEPREC table) related to or before the closed FY - n FYs (where n represents the value of the parameter NBEXNOHIS - No of closed FYs to archive).
The archive/purge criterion is defined according to the end date of the depreciation FY and to the FY status corresponding to the context.

Example Without any modification of NBEXNOHIS value, the number of closed FYs to save equals 3.

Accounting and fiscal context.
01/01/2007 - 31/12/2007: closed to archive/purge
01/01/2008 - 31/12/2008: closed
01/01/2009 - 31/12/2009: closed
01/01/2010 - 31/12/2010: closed
01/01/2011 - 31/12/2011: current

IAS/IFRS context
01/10/2006 - 30/09/2007: closed to archive/purge
01/10/2007 - 30/09/2008: closed
01/10/2008 - 30/09/2009: closed
01/10/2009 - 30/09/2010: closed
01/10/2010 - 30/09/2011: current

The selection takes into account the DEPREC records:

  • for [01/01/2007 - 31/12/2007] FY and the previous FYs for the Accounting and fiscal context,
  • for [01/10/2006 - 30/09/2007] FY and the previous FYs for the IAS/IFRS context.

EVEFAS - Fixed asset events of closed FYs

The archiving/purging affects the events for which the effective date (EVTDAT) is within the closed FY of each depreciation context.
The archive/purge criterion is defined according to the event effective date and to the FY and period statuses corresponding to the context (Accounting & fiscal for events without any plan mention).

SEEINFO When the archiving is used, the only events that may be viewed are the one associated with the assets and which have been archived too via the Journal of Events. The events associated with the assets, but which have not been archived, may be viewed through requests.

PHYSICAL ELEMENTS

PHYELT- Physical elements

The archiving/purging process deals with the following:

-->the physical elements (PHYELT table) associated with issued assets (the physical elements are issued),
--> their associated events (EPHY* tables, see below).

EVEPHY - Events on physical elements

The archiving/purging affects the events for which the effective date (EVTDAT) is within the closed FY of each depreciation context.
The archive/purge criterion is defined according to the event effective date and to the FY and period statuses corresponding to the context (Accounting & fiscal for events without any plan mention).
