Prerequisites

When archiving DBM data, you must consider dependencies between archiving objects. Generally, you cannot archive data until dependent objects have been archived.
Note: As soon as DBM data can be archived, the status DLT (Deletion indicator, to be archived) can be set.

Prerequisites for the DBM Order:

The preprocessing program sets the deletion flag (/DBM/VBAK_DB-LOEVM) when the DBM order has the status Closed (for example, after a billing document has been created) and the residence time has been reached.

Prerequisites for the DBM Package:

The preprocessing program sets the deletion flag when the package has the status SHOULD_BE_ARCHIVED and it is not included in any open order and any other non-archived package.
