  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SRCGPROJ104, which states "You are not authorized to perform the selected archiving action," typically indicates that the user attempting to perform an archiving action does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions to do so. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to archive purchase orders, contracts, or other procurement-related documents.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the authorization logs to identify which specific authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include archiving permissions.
  The roles should include authorization objects related to archiving, such as S_ARCHIVE or other relevant objects depending on the specific archiving action.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Permissions:
  
  If the user requires additional permissions, they should formally request these from their manager or the SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Testing:
