Currently, the “Archive with Dataverse long-term retention” feature in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management archives all sales orders that match the filter criteria provided by the user (e.g., date range, legal entity). There is no built-in way to automatically exclude intercompany sales orders.
In some environments, like the customer’s, nearly all sales orders are intercompany orders. As a result, running an archive job could inadvertently archive records that are part of intercompany chains, which can break transactional relationships across legal entities.
Proposed Idea:
Introduce an option in the archive job to exclude intercompany sales orders automatically or provide a dedicated filter/flag that identifies intercompany orders, so admins can safely archive non-intercompany sales orders without risking data integrity.
This enhancement would align the system behavior with the documented guidance that intercompany orders should not be archived, making the feature safer and more flexible for customers with a high volume of intercompany transactions.
