• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EARC_EN010 - Move-in document &1 should be archived before archiving of contract &2 ?

  The SAP error message EARC_EN010 indicates that there is a dependency between a move-in document and a contract that needs to be addressed before you can proceed with archiving the contract. Specifically, it means that the move-in document associated with the contract must be archived before you can archive the contract itself.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Relationship: The move-in document is linked to the contract, and SAP requires that all related documents be archived in a specific order to maintain data integrity.
  Archiving Sequence: The archiving process in SAP follows a defined sequence to ensure that all dependencies are respected. If a move-in document is still active or not archived, the system will prevent the archiving of the related contract.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Move-In Document: Determine which move-in document is associated with the contract you are trying to archive. You can usually find this information in the contract details or related documents section.
  Archive the Move-In Document: Use the appropriate archiving transaction (such as SARA) to archive the identified move-in document. Ensure that you follow the correct archiving procedure as defined in your organization’s SAP guidelines.
  Re-attempt Contract Archiving: Once the move-in document has been successfully archived, you can then attempt to archive the contract again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Archiving Transactions: Familiarize yourself with the archiving transactions in SAP, particularly SARA, which is used for managing the archiving process.
  Archiving Objects: Understand the specific archiving objects related to your business processes (e.g., move-in documents, contracts) to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal documentation for detailed steps on archiving processes and dependencies.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs or application logs for additional details that may help in troubleshooting if the issue persists after following the above steps.
  
  By addressing the dependency and following the correct archiving sequence, you should be able to resolve the EARC_EN010 error and successfully archive the contract.
