• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKINV528 - No residence time maintained for archiving object &1 ?

  The SAP error message FKKINV528 indicates that there is no residence time maintained for the archiving object specified in the message. This typically occurs in the context of archiving financial documents or data in the SAP system, particularly in the area of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA).
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to archive data for a specific archiving object, but the residence time (the period for which data should be retained before it can be archived) has not been defined. This residence time is crucial for the archiving process, as it determines when data can be moved from the active database to the archive.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the residence time for the specified archiving object. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Customizing Transaction:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Navigate to Archiving Settings:
  
  Follow the path: Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Archiving -> Define Residence Times.
  
  
  
  Define Residence Time:
  
  In the "Define Residence Times" section, you will see a list of archiving objects. Locate the archiving object that corresponds to the error message (indicated by &1 in the error).
  Maintain the residence time for that archiving object. This typically involves specifying how long the data should remain in the active database before it can be archived.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the required residence time, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Retry the Archiving Process:
  
  Once the residence time is set, you can retry the archiving process that previously resulted in the error.
