Purpose
You use this report to perform mandatory checks prior to archiving IPMbilling documents.

Integration
This report creates the prerequisites for archiving billing documentsthat were created using specific features, such as the differencecalculation or clearing control. These billing documents arecharacterized by the fact that dependencies with other billing documentsexist. Billing documents with these types of items cannot thereforesimply be archived once the residence time has expired.
This program performs the cross-billing document checks required foritems that may be subject to these types of dependency, and selects anarchivability indicator at item level if this check is successful. Thestandard preprocessing program for the application-specific archivingobject BEA_xxxx ('xxxx' = application name) evaluates this indicatorfor each item and only defines as archivable those documents in whichall items can be archived.

Output
Billed items are defined as being archivable using the followingcriteria:
Items with a Difference Calculation

• The n billed successors (n cannot be less than 2) proposed are available
as a minimum.

• The requirement above does not apply to the enhanced check if the
contract has already been archived.
Advances
All associated clearing items (the originating royalties items for theadvance) are archivable or have already been archived.
Multiple Payees
If the Summary Document checkbox for multiple payees isselected, the report checks if the system has transferred all relatedpayee documents to Financial Accounting (FI). If not all payeedocuments have the status C (transferred) and are archivable, thesystem cannot archive the related summary billing document.
Derived Items (Internal Clearing, Accruals)
All derived items are evaluated with their original item. Therequirements described above must apply to each item in this group. (Agroup only is defined as being billed if all items have been billed orare no longer to be billed.)
