• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE155 - Archiving was prevented by a Business Add-In ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE155 indicates that archiving was prevented due to a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation. This typically occurs when a custom BAdI implementation has been designed to prevent certain data from being archived, often for business reasons such as compliance, data integrity, or specific business processes.
  Cause:
  
  BAdI Implementation: A BAdI related to the archiving process has been implemented in your SAP system that contains logic to prevent archiving under certain conditions.
  Business Logic: The BAdI may be checking for specific conditions or statuses of the data that must be met before allowing archiving.
  Configuration: The configuration settings for the archiving process may have been altered to include checks that prevent archiving.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: 
  
  Identify the specific BAdI that is causing the issue. You can do this by checking the implementation of the BAdI in transaction SE19 or SE80.
  Review the logic in the BAdI implementation to understand why it is preventing archiving. Look for conditions that are not being met.
  
  
  
  Adjust Conditions: 
  
  If the conditions in the BAdI are too strict or not applicable to your current business process, consider modifying the logic to allow archiving under certain circumstances.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Stakeholders: 
  
  Discuss with relevant business stakeholders to understand the implications of changing the BAdI logic. Ensure that any changes align with business requirements and compliance regulations.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making changes, thoroughly test the archiving process to ensure that it works as expected and does not lead to data integrity issues.
  
  
  
  Documentation: 
  
  Document any changes made to the BAdI implementation for future reference and to inform other team members of the modifications.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  Use transaction codes SE19 (BAdI Implementation) and SE80 (Object Navigator) to find and analyze the BAdI.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: 
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific BAdI or archiving process you are dealing with.
  
  
  
  Archiving Process: 
  
  Familiarize yourself with the archiving process in SAP, including the necessary prerequisites and configurations, to better understand how BAdIs interact with it.
  
  
  
  Support: 
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the MMPUR_ARCHIVE155 error and implement a solution that allows for successful archiving while maintaining compliance with business requirements.
