Business value

Easily archive or remove historical load and work data to keep your database lean and healthy. By reducing index size, you improve long-term performance and speed up tasks like sandbox refreshes. This feature is for anyone managing large volumes of operational data who wants to simplify maintenance and boost efficiency.

Feature details

Move historical load and work records to long-term retention using the built-in archiving capability of Supply Chain Management. This reduces index size, improves database health, and speeds up tasks like sandbox refreshes. The extended archiving framework now supports the following tables: WHSLOADTABLE, WHSLOADLINE, WHSSHIPMENTTABLE, WHSWORKTABLE, WHSWORKLINE, WHSWORKINVENTTRANS, and WHSWORKTRANS.

You can enable this feature directly in the archiving framework settings. It's not turned on by default, so review your configuration to start archiving load-related records.
