  The SAP error message KR341 ("Line items should not be archived according to customizing settings") typically occurs when you attempt to archive line items in the Controlling (CO) module, but the system settings do not allow for the archiving of those specific line items. This can happen due to various reasons related to the configuration of the archiving process in SAP.
