• Key Concepts: 
  PFO archiving is a feature of SAP ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows users to store and manage large amounts of data in an efficient and secure manner. It enables users to archive data from the ICM system, such as commission plans, incentive plans, and other related data, in a separate database. This helps to reduce the amount of storage space needed for the ICM system and improves performance.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use PFO archiving, users must first configure the archiving settings in the ICM system. This includes setting up the archiving parameters, such as the type of data to be archived, the frequency of archiving, and the storage location for the archived data. Once these settings are configured, users can then initiate an archiving process to move the data from the ICM system to the separate database.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring PFO archiving settings, it is important to consider how often data needs to be archived. If data is archived too frequently, it can lead to performance issues in the ICM system. It is also important to ensure that the storage location for archived data is secure and reliable.
