• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G9161 - No archiving possible because of FI and bank account switching documents ?

  The SAP error message G9161 indicates that archiving is not possible due to the presence of switching documents related to Financial Accounting (FI) and bank accounts. This typically occurs when there are documents that have not been fully processed or cleared, which prevents the archiving process from proceeding.
  Cause:
  
  Switching Documents: The error arises when there are switching documents (e.g., documents that involve a transfer of funds between accounts) that are still open or have not been cleared. These documents are linked to the financial transactions that need to be archived.

  Identify Open Documents: Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to identify any open or unprocessed documents related to the FI and bank accounts.
  Clear or Process Documents: Ensure that all switching documents are cleared or processed. This may involve:
  
  Posting necessary journal entries to clear outstanding items.
  Completing any pending transactions.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Review any dependencies that may exist between documents. Ensure that all related documents are processed before attempting to archive.
  Use Archiving Object: If applicable, use the appropriate archiving object (e.g., FI_DOCUMNT) to manage the archiving process. Ensure that the archiving settings are correctly configured.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to archiving in the FI module for specific guidance on handling switching documents.
  Run Archiving Programs: After clearing the documents, run the archiving programs again to see if the issue is resolved.
