Archiving Vendor master

Hi,

I try to archive vendor master with the object FI_ACCPAYB   Vendor master data

I am able to archive the company code and the purchasing data by the series of steps I execute. As a result the entries are deleted from the database tables, LFB1 and LFM1.

However, the data from the table LFA1 is never deleted. Does archiving not delete the general data for the vendor master?

With Kind Regards
