Note for System Administration
If a PI sheet belongs to several batch records, the relevant document
is still archived only once and referred from all corresponding batch
records.
PI sheet &V1& has already been archived in a different batch record but
due to a system error, the status <LS>Archived</> has not been set. For
this reason, the existing archive document cannot be referred to during
archiving of the current batch record.
