  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE044 indicates that a purchasing info record is eligible for archiving but is currently in a simulation mode. This message typically arises during the archiving process when the system checks whether the purchasing info records meet the criteria for archiving.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The purchasing info record is marked as archivable based on the defined archiving criteria.
