• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMAR056 - No data found for archiving ?

  The SAP error message FMAR056 ("No data found for archiving") typically occurs when you attempt to archive data in the SAP system, but the system cannot find any data that meets the criteria specified for archiving. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help you resolve the issue.
  Causes of FMAR056
  
  
  No Eligible Data: The most common reason for this error is that there is no data in the specified selection criteria that qualifies for archiving. This could be due to:
  
  The data has already been archived.
  The selection criteria are too restrictive.
  The data has been deleted or is not available in the specified period.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: If the parameters set for the archiving process (like date ranges, document types, etc.) do not match any existing records, the system will return this error.
  
  
  Archiving Object Configuration: The archiving object may not be properly configured, or the necessary settings for archiving may not be in place.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the data can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you are using for archiving. Ensure that they are not too restrictive and that they match the data you expect to archive. You may want to broaden the date range or adjust other parameters.
  
  
  Check for Existing Data: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the database tables related to the archiving object. This will help you confirm whether there is any data available that meets your criteria.
  
  
  Verify Archiving Configuration: Ensure that the archiving object is correctly configured in the system. You can check the configuration settings in transaction SARA (Archive Administration) to ensure everything is set up properly.
  
  
  Check for Previous Archiving Runs: If the data has already been archived in a previous run, you will not be able to archive it again. You can check the archive logs to see if the data was archived previously.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data you are trying to archive. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with. There may be specific considerations or known issues documented by SAP.
