• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE109 - No conversion (source and target object &1 are identical) ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE109 indicates that there is an issue with the archiving process, specifically that the source and target objects are identical. This typically occurs when the system attempts to archive data but finds that the data being archived is the same as the data that is already in the target location, leading to no conversion or change.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Source and Target: The most common cause of this error is that the source object (the data you are trying to archive) and the target object (the location where you want to archive the data) are the same. This can happen if the archiving configuration is not set up correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the archiving object or the archiving process itself, leading to the system not recognizing the difference between the source and target.
  Data Already Archived: The data you are trying to archive may have already been archived, and the system is attempting to archive it again without any changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archiving Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the archiving object in question. Ensure that the source and target objects are correctly defined and that they are not pointing to the same location.
  Verify Data Status: Check the status of the data you are trying to archive. If it has already been archived, you may not need to archive it again. You can check the archive logs to see if the data is already present in the archive.
  Adjust Archiving Process: If the configuration is correct and the data is not already archived, consider adjusting the archiving process to ensure that it differentiates between the source and target objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with for any additional guidance or troubleshooting steps.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data status, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
