What is historical data in SAP BC-CCM-DAG - Data Aging?

SAP Term: historical data

• Component: BC-CCM-DAG

• Component Name: Data Aging

• Description: Historical data is data that is not used for-day-to day-business transactions. By default, historical data is not visible to ABAP applications. It is no longer updated from a business point of view. The application logic determines when current data turns historical by using its knowledge about the object’s lifecycle. The application logic validates the conditions at object level from a business point of view, based on the status, executing existence checks, and verifying cross object dependencies. Examples of historical data: Cleared FI items posted two years prior to the current fiscal year, material documents one period older than the current closed period, processed IDocs, and application logs after X days.
