When archiving VSS data, you must consider dependencies between archiving objects. Generally, you cannot archive data until dependent objects have been archived.

Prerequisites for the VSS Order:

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

Prerequisites for the VSS 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.
