  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code ARO_RETAINSET is used to maintain the retaining period for documents in the SAP system. This transaction code is used to set the number of days that documents are retained in the system before they are automatically deleted. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The ARO_RETAINSET transaction code allows users to set the number of days that documents are retained in the system before they are automatically deleted. This is useful for ensuring that documents are not kept in the system for longer than necessary, as well as for ensuring that documents are not deleted before they are needed. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the transaction code ARO_RETAINSET into the command field. 
  2. Select the document type you wish to set a retaining period for. 
  3. Enter the number of days you wish to retain the document in the system.

  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to note that setting a retaining period for documents does not guarantee that they will be deleted after that period of time. Documents may still be retained in the system if they are referenced by other documents or if they have been marked as “important” by a user. Additionally, it is important to ensure that documents are not deleted before they are needed, so it is recommended that users review their document retention policies regularly and adjust them as needed.
