  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE107 indicates that there is an attempt to archive a business object for which an entry already exists in the table TOAOM (which is used for archiving management). This typically occurs when you try to archive a document or object that has already been archived or has an existing entry in the archiving object management table.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Duplicate Archiving Attempt: The business object you are trying to archive has already been archived, and an entry exists in the TOAOM table.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the archiving settings or the archiving object itself.
  Data Consistency Issues: There might be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the archiving process from proceeding.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries:
  
  Use transaction code SE16N or SE11 to view the contents of the TOAOM table. Look for entries related to the business object you are trying to archive.
  If an entry exists, it means the object has already been archived.
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Logs:
  
  Check the archiving logs to see if there are any messages or errors that provide more context about the archiving process.
  Use transaction code SARA to access the archiving administration and review logs.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Existing Entries:
  
  If you determine that the existing entry is incorrect or needs to be removed, you may need to delete it. However, be cautious with this step, as it can affect data integrity.
  Ensure that you have proper backups and that you understand the implications of deleting entries from the TOAOM table.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Archiving Settings:
  
  If the issue is due to misconfiguration, review the archiving object settings in transaction SARA and ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
