What is the difference between Write and Preprocessing option?

[Rushi6]

Hi,

Can someone please explain the difference between Write and Preprocessing Variant Type?

I would want to run archiving job for the business partner and while maintaining variant for it, the system is asking to select Variant type.

System: S4HANA public cloud

Scope ID: 1KA

Thanks,
Rushi
