• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARC123 - Entries that would not be deleted as not archived in AA. ?

  The SAP error message FARC123 indicates that there are entries in the Asset Accounting (AA) module that cannot be deleted because they have not been archived. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete asset master records or related transactions that are still present in the database and have not been archived according to the archiving policies set in your SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-archived Entries: The primary cause of this error is that the asset entries you are trying to delete have not been archived. Archiving is a process that moves data from the database to an archive storage, making it no longer available in the active database but still retrievable if needed.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules, which means that certain entries cannot be deleted if they are still linked to other data in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the archiving process or the archiving object for Asset Accounting.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Archive the Entries: Before attempting to delete the entries, you need to ensure that they are archived. You can do this by:
  
  Running the archiving program for Asset Accounting (transaction code: SARA).
  Select the appropriate archiving object (e.g., AA for Asset Accounting) and execute the archiving process.
  Ensure that the archiving runs successfully and that the entries are moved to the archive.
  
  
  
  Check Archiving Settings: Verify the archiving settings in your system to ensure that they are correctly configured. This includes checking:
  
  The archiving object settings.
  The retention periods for the data.
  Any specific selection criteria that may be preventing the archiving of certain entries.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any dependencies or links to other objects that might be preventing the deletion. You may need to resolve these dependencies before proceeding with the deletion.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to Asset Accounting and archiving for any specific instructions or considerations that may apply to your version of SAP.
