  The SAP error message RECAAR080 indicates that there are still linked ArchiveLink documents associated with a particular object or record in the system. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete or archive a record that has linked documents stored in the ArchiveLink system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of linked ArchiveLink documents that are still associated with the object you are trying to delete or archive. The system prevents the deletion or archiving of the object to maintain data integrity, as the linked documents may be necessary for reference or compliance purposes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Linked Documents: Use transaction codes such as OAC0 (ArchiveLink Administration) or SARA (Archive Administration) to identify the linked ArchiveLink documents associated with the object in question. You may need to check the specific object type and its associated documents.
  
  
  Remove Links: If the linked documents are no longer needed, you can remove the links to these documents. This may involve:
  
  Deleting the documents if they are no longer required.
  Detaching the documents from the object if they are still needed but should not be linked.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the documents are not in a status that prevents deletion or detachment. You may need to check the document's lifecycle or status in the ArchiveLink system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ArchiveLink administrator for specific procedures related to your system configuration.
  
  
  Retry the Operation: After removing the links or addressing the documents, retry the operation that initially triggered the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
