  Archive Follow-On Documents: If the follow-on documents are no longer needed, consider archiving them first. Ensure that all related documents are marked for archiving before attempting to archive the original document.
  Review Archiving Settings: Check the archiving object configuration to ensure that it allows archiving of documents with follow-ons under certain conditions. You may need to adjust the settings if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with for any additional requirements or steps that may be necessary.
