  The SAP error message MEPO113 indicates that a purchase requisition (PR) has been read from an archive. This typically occurs when you attempt to access a purchase requisition that has been archived for storage purposes, meaning it is no longer available in the active database but is stored in an archive for historical reference.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving Process: The purchase requisition has been archived as part of the data management process in SAP. This is often done to improve system performance and manage data volume.
