  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE087 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the Goods Receipt (GR) quantity and the Goods Issue (GI) quantity for a specific document. This error typically arises during the archiving process of purchasing documents, where the system checks the consistency of the quantities involved.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The quantity recorded in the Goods Receipt does not match the quantity recorded in the Goods Issue for the same material document.
  There may have been changes or inconsistencies in the inventory management data, possibly due to manual adjustments, incorrect postings, or data corruption.
  The document may have been modified after the GR or GI was posted, leading to mismatched quantities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Document Details:
  
  Use transaction codes like MB03 (Display Material Document) to review the details of the GR and GI documents.
  Verify the quantities posted in both documents to identify the mismatch.
  
  
  
  Reconcile Quantities:
  
  If discrepancies are found, you may need to adjust the quantities. This can involve:
  
  Posting a correcting entry for the GR or GI.
  If the GR quantity is incorrect, you may need to reverse the GR and re-enter it with the correct quantity.
  If the GI quantity is incorrect, you may need to reverse the GI and re-enter it.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions:
  
  Ensure that there are no open transactions or pending postings that could affect the quantities.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Support Team:
