How To Fix GX071 - Unsorted archiving is only allowed for pool table ledgers

GX071 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GX - Archiving/Reorganization

• Message number: 071

• Message text: Unsorted archiving is only allowed for pool table ledgers

What causes this issue?

You attempted to archive without sorting for at least one ledger that
refers to a transparent table (&V1&).
This is not allowed since such archives cannot be easily read, that is,
only with the help of the Archive Information System (SAP AS).
Only pool table ledgers can (and must) be archived with the unsorted
method.
You archive ledgers of transparent tables via "Archiving by account" or
"Archiving by document", depending on how you want to access the
archives.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Exclude all transparent tables from the current selection criteria, or
change the type of archiving to a "sorted" type.

GX071 - Details

• The SAP error message GX071 indicates that unsorted archiving is only permitted for pool table ledgers. This error typically arises when you attempt to archive data that does not meet the criteria for unsorted archiving, which is specifically applicable to pool tables in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Table Type: The error occurs because the table you are trying to archive is not a pool table ledger. In SAP, pool tables are special types of tables that are used to store data in a way that allows for efficient archiving.
  Archiving Configuration: The archiving configuration may not be set up correctly for the specific table you are trying to archive.
  Data Structure: The data structure of the table may not support unsorted archiving, which is a requirement for certain types of tables.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Type: Verify that the table you are trying to archive is indeed a pool table. You can do this by checking the table definition
