• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARC101 - &1 entries would not have been deleted, as not archived in CO. ?

  The SAP error message FARC101 indicates that certain entries could not be deleted because they have not been archived in the Controlling (CO) module. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete financial documents or entries that are still active in the system and have not been archived according to the archiving policies set up in your SAP environment.
  Cause:
  
  Non-archived Entries: The entries you are trying to delete have not been archived. Archiving is a process that moves data that is no longer needed for daily operations to a storage area, allowing for better performance and data management.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the archiving object for CO, which prevents the entries from being archived.
  Data Integrity: The system may be enforcing data integrity rules that prevent the deletion of entries that are still linked to other active documents or processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Archive the Entries: Before attempting to delete the entries, ensure that they are archived. You can do this by running the archiving program for the relevant CO objects. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the transaction code for archiving (e.g., SARA).
  Selecting the appropriate archiving object for CO (e.g., CO-OM, CO-PA).
  Executing the archiving process to move the entries to the archive.
  
  
  
  Check Archiving Configuration: Verify that the archiving configuration for the CO module is correctly set up. This includes:
  
  Ensuring that the archiving object is defined and active.
  Checking the settings for the retention period and other parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if the entries you are trying to delete are linked to other documents or processes. If they are, you may need to resolve those dependencies before deletion.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to the archiving and deletion processes in the CO module.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and version.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SARA (Archive Administration) and SARI (Archive Information System) for managing archiving processes.
  Archiving Objects: Understand the different archiving objects available in CO and their specific requirements.
  Data Retention Policies: Review your organization's data retention policies to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements when archiving and deleting data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the FARC101 error and successfully manage the entries in your SAP system.
