  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE317 with the description "Target quantity reached" typically occurs in the context of archiving materials or purchase orders in the Materials Management (MM) module. This message indicates that the system has reached the target quantity for archiving, meaning that the specified limit for the number of records to be archived has been met.
  Cause:
  
  Target Quantity Limit: The archiving process has a predefined limit on the number of records that can be archived in a single run. When this limit is reached, the system generates this error message.

  Increase Target Quantity: If necessary, you can increase the target quantity limit in the archiving settings to allow more records to be processed in a single run.
  Run Archiving in Batches: If increasing the limit is not feasible or desired, consider running the archiving process in smaller batches to ensure that the target quantity is not reached too quickly.
  Monitor Archiving Jobs: Regularly monitor the archiving jobs to ensure they are running smoothly and not hitting limits unexpectedly.
