reporting purposes
It remains as a complete unit in the system until
archived
Once created, a document can not be deleted
from the database

Document Principles (continued)


The SAP document principle provides a solid
framework for a strong internal control system
Audit trails allow an accountant to begin with an
account balance on a financial statement and
trace through the accounting records to the
transactions that support the account balance or
to trace individual transactions to the effected
account balance(s) on a financial statement
