What causes this issue?

To archive commission cases, you need to specify how long a case is to
be in the system before it can be archived. This information must be
maintained in Customizing, but was not found.
For commission cases, you can set up this kind of runtime for each
business object type and business transaction.
No minimum retention period is currently in the system for business
object type &V1& and business transaction &V2&.

System Response

The commission case is not archived. The archiving run is continued.

&HINT&
If you do not want to enter all possible combinations of business
object type and business transaction, then you can enter a space in the
business object type of business transaction. This means that the
retention period applies to all business object types or business
transactions.
The archiving run determines the retention period by searching for
business object type &V1& and business transaction &V2& in Customizing
first. If nothing is found, then the system searches for the business
object type &V1& entry and business transaction SPACE. If it does not
find anything here either, it looks for business object type SPACE,
business transaction &V2&. The last search for both fields is for a
SPACE. Only if this entry fails will the system issue this message, and
the case is not archived.
