SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KR - Archiving Reports and Utilities

• Message number: 312

• Message text: No sub-object types to be archived were found

What causes this issue?

You have entered sub-object types. There are indeed sub-object types
that are suitable for your selection, but none that are to be archived
according to Customizing.

System Response

The system rejects the entry since nothing would be archived anyway.

How to fix this error?

Check your entries. If need be, select the sub-object types using F4.
If you want to archive line items for all sub-object types, leave the
sub-object type empty.
Check the settings for CO line item archiving. In case of doubt, an
entry should exist in Customizing for each sub-object type. If no entry
exists, the entry with the empty sub-object type is used if it exists.
If this entry does not exist, no line item is archived for this
sub-object type.
