Hello Digger
To me this specific error message is not a Standard QAD message.
The one most related to a standard one is "DELETE NOT ALLOWED, OUTSTANDING COMMODITY/CONTROL".
During the first step of deleting a part, all part related tables are checked. This message could relate to either Intrastat Control data in 2.22.4 or Controlled Substances.
Archiving itself is not enough. You have to untie also all other standard tables!
