  The SAP error message EEWA_ARCH002 indicates that a specific customer (denoted by &1) is still being referenced in waste disposal order items. This typically occurs when you are trying to archive or delete data related to waste disposal orders, but the system has detected that the customer data is still in use.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The customer is still linked to one or more waste disposal order items, which prevents the archiving or deletion process.
  Incomplete Data Cleanup: Previous operations may not have fully cleared out references to the customer in the waste disposal orders.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP enforces data integrity, and if there are active references, it will not allow the archiving process to proceed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Active References:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16N or SE11 to check the relevant database tables (e.g., EWAWASTEORDER, EWAWASTEITEM) for any entries that reference the customer in question.

  Remove or Update References:
  
  If you find active waste disposal orders that reference the customer, you will need to either delete these orders or update them to remove the customer reference.
  Ensure that any necessary business processes are followed before deleting or modifying data.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving:
  
  Once all references to the customer in waste disposal order items have been cleared, you can re-attempt the archiving process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to waste disposal orders and archiving processes for any additional guidance or specific steps that may be required.
