• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EARC_EN011 - Move-out document &1 should be archived before archiving of contract &2 ?

  The SAP error message EARC_EN011 indicates that there is a dependency between a move-out document and a contract that you are trying to archive. Specifically, it means that the move-out document (identified by &1) must be archived before you can archive the associated contract (identified by &2). This is a common scenario in SAP archiving processes, where certain documents must be processed in a specific order due to their relationships.
  Cause:
  
  Document Dependency: The move-out document is linked to the contract, and SAP requires that all related documents be archived in a specific sequence to maintain data integrity.
  Archiving Configuration: The archiving configuration may not be set up to allow archiving of contracts without first archiving the related move-out documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Move-Out Document: Use the document number provided in the error message (&1) to locate the move-out document in the system.
  Archive the Move-Out Document: Follow the archiving process for the move-out document. This typically involves:
  
  Running the archiving transaction (e.g., SARA) for the relevant object (e.g., move-out documents).
  Ensuring that the move-out document is successfully archived.
  
  
  Re-attempt Contract Archiving: Once the move-out document has been archived, you can then proceed to archive the contract (identified by &2).
  Check Archiving Logs: After archiving, check the logs to ensure that both the move-out document and the contract have been archived successfully without any errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Archiving Transactions: Familiarize yourself with the archiving transactions in SAP, such as SARA (Archive Administration) and the specific archiving object for your documents.
  Archiving Objects: Understand the archiving objects related to your business processes. Each object may have specific dependencies and requirements.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's archiving guidelines for detailed steps on how to archive specific document types.
  Consult with SAP Basis Team: If you encounter issues or need assistance with the archiving process, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EARC_EN011 error and successfully archive the necessary documents in the correct order.
