• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE069 - Purchasing document archivable (simulation run) ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE069 indicates that a purchasing document is archivable, but this message is generated during a simulation run. This means that the system has identified that the purchasing document meets the criteria for archiving, but no actual archiving has taken place yet.
  Cause
  The cause of this message typically involves the following factors:
  
  Archiving Criteria Met: The purchasing document has met the defined criteria for archiving, such as age, status, or other conditions set in the archiving object configuration.
  Simulation Mode: The archiving process is being run in simulation mode, which means that the system is only checking which documents can be archived without actually performing the archiving.
  Configuration Settings: The archiving object for purchasing documents (e.g., MM_PURCHDOC) may have specific settings that determine which documents are eligible for archiving.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this message and proceed with the actual archiving, you can follow these steps:
  
  Check Archiving Settings: Review the archiving settings for the purchasing documents in transaction SARA. Ensure that the criteria for archiving are correctly defined.
  Run Actual Archiving: Instead of running the simulation, execute the actual archiving process. You can do this by selecting the appropriate archiving object and running it without the simulation flag.
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the purchasing documents you intend to archive are in a status that allows archiving (e.g., not locked, not in use).
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or linked documents that prevent the archiving of the purchasing document.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the archiving of purchasing documents for any specific requirements or additional steps.
