Keeping a large volume of historical sales orders and lines in your day-to-day working environment not only results in increased storage costs, but also impacts system performance and usability. You can leverage the archival framework to perform rules-based archiving of historical sales orders and lines. The archived 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 sales records available as read-only data for when you need them. This feature performs the first step in the archival process, which is archiving from day-to-day transaction tables to history tables. Once archived to history tables, the data from the day-to-day transaction tables will be purged.
