• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LCM_COMMON100 - '&1' &2 are in final status (except objects where archiving has started) ?

  The SAP error message LCM_COMMON100 typically indicates that certain objects (like documents, materials, or other entities) are in a "final status," meaning they cannot be processed further in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This often occurs in scenarios involving archiving or data management processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Final Status: The objects you are trying to work with have been marked as final, which means they are no longer eligible for changes or further processing. This could be due to:
  
  The objects have been archived.
  The objects have been completed or closed in the system.
  The objects are locked due to business rules or processes.
  
  
  
  Archiving Process: If the archiving process has started for these objects, they cannot be modified or processed further until the archiving is completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Status: Review the status of the objects mentioned in the error message. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes relevant to the objects (e.g., MM03 for materials, VA03 for sales orders).
  Checking the status in the relevant application area.
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Status: If the objects are in the process of being archived, you may need to wait until the archiving process is completed. You can check the archiving logs or status in the relevant transaction (e.g., SARA for archiving).
  
  
  Unlock or Change Status: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate to do so, you may consider:
  
  Unlocking the objects if they are locked.
  Changing the status of the objects if business rules allow it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines regarding the specific objects and their statuses. This can provide insights into why the objects are in a final status and what actions can be taken.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for checking object statuses and archiving processes (e.g., SARA for archiving, SE11 for data dictionary).
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify the objects in question.
  Business Processes: Understand the business processes that govern the lifecycle of the objects you are working with, as this will help you navigate the restrictions imposed by their final status.
