SCM Archiving Best practices

Hi,

We are interested in how other companies have archived their SCM data (Inventory, Manufacturing, Cost Management, Order Management, Billing). I have no experience in archiving yet and know about article Note 787223.1.

I would just like to see how different companies have approached this. Have you used the IN_PURGE process, and if so how did you work with it.

Any information would be really appreciated here, so we can determine our correct archive strategy....
