Configuration Manager - Menus - Settings - Sales Transaction Types - Archives

The Archives Sales Transaction Type stores copies of original transactions when they are converted to another Transaction Type. For example, when a Sales Order is filled, the Order is automatically converted to a Sale Invoice, the original Sales Order is deleted, and a copy of the Sales Order is saved as an Archive transaction. The Archive copy retains the original Amount Remaining to be paid, and the original Payments appear in the Payments Tendered list along with a Payment transferring the Amount tendered to the new Sales Invoice.

A transaction may be archived to the same transaction type, leaving the original alone, and making the new converted transaction a copy of the original plus any changes.

Archived transactions are enabled by default on some transaction types, like Sales Orders, and may be disabled if desired by setting the Archive To Save Parameter to None.

Because Archives are really nothing more than backup records of initial transactions, Inventory and Customer database record fields are not updated when Archive transactions are created or deleted.

Archives do not automatically convert to any other Transaction Type. By default, Archives use Inventory Price/Cost and Sales Tax data from the original Order (i.e., are not recalculated when converted to an Invoice).

Note: Transactions are not Archived if the Convert When Save Parameter is set to Always.
