Dependencies (PM-SMA-SC)
When archiving service notifications, you must consider dependencies between archiving objects, for example, between service notifications and service orders. Generally, you cannot archive data until dependent objects have been archived.
As soon as a service notification is used in a service order, the status DLT (Deletion indicator, to be archived) can be set. However, the system only archives the service notification if the maintenance order, the historical order, and the sales order have already been deleted.
