  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code OARC is used to maintain the retention periods for the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. This code allows users to set the length of time that documents related to asset accounting must be kept before they can be deleted. 
  
  Functionality:
  The OARC transaction code allows users to set the retention periods for documents related to asset accounting. This includes documents such as asset master records, depreciation postings, and asset retirement postings. The retention period can be set for each document type individually, allowing users to customize their document retention policies. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use:
  1. Enter the transaction code OARC in the command field. 
  2. Select the document type for which you want to set a retention period. 
  3. Enter the desired retention period in days, months, or years. 
  4. Click “Save” to save your changes. 
  
  Other Recommendations:
  It is important to note that setting a retention period does not automatically delete documents after the specified time has elapsed. Instead, it simply flags documents that are older than the specified time so that they can be reviewed and deleted if necessary. Additionally, it is recommended that users periodically review their document retention policies to ensure that they are up-to-date with their organization’s needs.
