SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_MKTSC - Scenario Planning: Messages

• Message number: 129

• Message text: You cannot edit marketing project &1; it is already archived

What causes this issue?

This marketing project is archived. You cannot make any changes to an
archived marketing project, and you cannot add an archived marketing
project to a scenario or a scenario set.
This also has the implication that, once you have archived a marketing
project, the system can no longer change the active state (<ZK>Active
</>, <ZK>Inactive</>, or <ZK>Committed</>) of the project. This means:
You cannot set a scenario to operative if this would require a change to
the active state of an archived marketing project
You cannot directly remove an archived marketing project from the
operative scenario, because this would require a change to the active
state of the archive marketing project

System Response

You cannot edit the marketing project.

How to fix this error?

You <ZH>can </>remove an archived marketing project from the planning
scope.
If you want to remove an archived marketing project from the operative
scenario, remove the project from the planning scope. The system then
removes it from all scenarios of the scenario set.

  Unarchive the Project: If you need to make changes to the project, you may need to unarchive it. This process typically requires administrative privileges and may involve using specific SAP transactions or tools. Consult with your SAP administrator or support team to see if unarchiving is possible and appropriate.
  
  
  Create a New Project: If unarchiving is not an option, consider creating a new marketing project that incorporates the necessary changes or updates you wish to make.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to archiving and marketing projects for more detailed guidance on handling archived projects.
