• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_GENERAL213 - Accounting document assigned has not been archved yet ?

  The SAP error message FDM_GENERAL213 indicates that an accounting document that is being referenced has not been archived yet. This typically occurs in the context of financial document management or when trying to access or process documents that are expected to be archived but are still in the active database.
  Cause:
  
  Non-archived Documents: The primary cause of this error is that the accounting document in question has not been archived. This can happen if the archiving process has not been executed for the relevant documents or if the document is too recent to have been archived.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the archiving process in SAP, leading to documents not being archived as expected.
  Document Status: The document may still be in a status that prevents it from being archived (e.g., it is still open or has pending transactions).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archiving Status: Verify if the accounting document has been archived. You can do this by checking the archiving logs or using transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to see the status of the archiving process.
  Run Archiving Process: If the document has not been archived, you may need to run the archiving process for the relevant accounting documents. This can be done through transaction SARA, where you can select the appropriate object (e.g., FI documents) and execute the archiving job.
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the document is in a status that allows it to be archived. If it is still open or has pending transactions, you may need to resolve those issues first.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about the archiving process or if there are configuration issues, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator to ensure that the archiving settings are correctly configured.
