Business value
Over the years, companies typically generate and store a large volume of inventory journal records. Although these records aren't required for day-to-day operations, they may still be needed for purposes such as historical reporting, auditing, machine learning, and so on. Keeping a large volume of historical inventory journal records in your day-to-day working environment not only results in increased storage costs, but also impacts system performance and usability.
With this feature, you can leverage the archival framework to perform rule-based archiving of historical inventory journal data. The records are removed from your day-to-day working environment and stored in your Dataverse-managed data lake, thereby improving system performance and lowering operating costs while keeping your historical inventory journal records available as read-only data for when you need them.
Feature details
Leverage the data archival solution provided with Microsoft finance and operations apps to archive your historical inventory journal records. Administrators can set up logical rules to control when and how the records will be archived from your day-to-day Supply Chain Management database to your Dataverse-managed data lake, where the data will remain available for historical reporting, auditing, machine learning, legal claims, and other purposes.
