Business value
Over the years, companies will typically generate and store a large volume of commerce transactions. These transactions are useful for the first few months to help with returns, but after that, the records aren't required for day-to-day operations. While these records may still be needed for purposes such as historical reporting, auditing, machine learning, or legal claims, keeping a large volume of historical commerce transactions in your day-to-day working environment not only results in increased storage costs, but also impacts system performance and usability.
Feature details
This feature leverages the standard data archival solution provided with the Dynamics 365 finance and operations application platform to archive your historical commerce transactions. Administrators can set up logical rules to control when and how the commerce transactions will be archived from active high efficiency, costly data store to non-indexed data storage for historical reporting, auditing, machine learning, legal claims, and other purposes.
