• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE022 - Purchase requisition archived (simulation run) ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE022 indicates that a purchase requisition has been archived in a simulation run. This message typically arises during the archiving process of purchase requisitions in the Materials Management (MM) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message is generated when the system attempts to archive purchase requisitions that are already archived or when there is an issue with the archiving process. The simulation run is a test run that allows you to see what would happen if the archiving process were executed without actually performing the archiving.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Archiving Status: Verify if the purchase requisition you are trying to archive is already archived. You can do this by checking the archive tables or using transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to see the status of archived documents.
  
  
  Review Simulation Run: Since this is a simulation run, ensure that you are not trying to archive documents that are already archived. If you are running a test, you may want to select different purchase requisitions that have not been archived yet.
  
  
  Adjust Archiving Settings: If you are consistently encountering this message, review the archiving settings in your SAP system. Ensure that the configuration for archiving purchase requisitions is set up correctly.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, purchase requisitions may have dependencies (like linked purchase orders or contracts) that prevent them from being archived. Ensure that all dependencies are resolved before attempting to archive.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to archiving in the MM module for any specific guidelines or known issues.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration and version of your SAP system.
