• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVI_MAPPING047 - BP &1 archiving not permitted; linked Customer/Supplier is not archived ?

  The SAP error message CVI_MAPPING047 indicates that archiving of a Business Partner (BP) is not permitted because it is linked to a customer or supplier that has not been archived. This error typically arises in the context of the Customer-Vendor Integration (CVI) framework, which integrates customer and vendor data with the Business Partner concept in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Linked Customer/Supplier Exists: The Business Partner you are trying to archive is linked to a customer or supplier record that is still active and has not been archived.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that all related records are properly managed. If a BP is linked to an active customer or supplier, it cannot be archived to prevent data inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CVI_MAPPING047 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Linked Records:
  
  Use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or XD03/FD03 (Display Customer) to check the details of the Business Partner and identify the linked customer or supplier records.
  
  
  
  Archive Linked Customer/Supplier:
  
  If the linked customer or supplier is no longer needed, you can archive it first. Use the appropriate archiving transaction (e.g., SARA for archiving) to archive the customer or supplier records.
  Ensure that all necessary data is backed up and that archiving is performed according to your organization's data management policies.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Before archiving, check for any dependencies or transactions that might be using the customer or supplier records. Ensure that there are no open transactions or pending activities.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving:
  
  After successfully archiving the linked customer or supplier, you can re-attempt to archive the Business Partner.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines on archiving processes and any additional considerations.
