Retrieving Archived Documents in FAMIS

All notices generated by FAMIS are available from the Document Queue (FMVM) screen or the Document History (FMVR) screen. Notices appear on the Document Queue (FMVM) screen on the day they are generated. Notices are moved from the Document Queue (FMVM) screen to the Document History (FMVR) screen 31 to 45 days after they are generated. A document maybe archived anytime after 30 days and is dependent on when the Document Archive Job is run.

When trying to view an archived document, the message “Invalid function for archived document” appears. The document has been archived and must be retrieved.
