• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ048 - Archiving object &1 contains data from company code &2 from current year ?

  The SAP error message MQ048 indicates that there is an issue with archiving data related to a specific archiving object. The message states that the archiving object contains data from a company code for the current year, which typically means that the system is preventing the archiving process because it does not allow archiving of current year data.
  Cause:
  
  Current Year Data: The primary cause of this error is that the archiving object you are trying to archive contains data from the current fiscal year. SAP generally restricts the archiving of data that is still relevant for reporting and financial purposes.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the archiving object that prevent the archiving of current year data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data: Review the data associated with the archiving object and ensure that it does not include any entries from the current fiscal year. If it does, you will need to wait until the fiscal year is closed or until the data is no longer needed for reporting.
  Close the Fiscal Year: If applicable, consider closing the fiscal year in your financial settings. This will allow you to archive data from the previous year.
  Adjust Archiving Settings: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check the configuration settings for the archiving object in transaction code SARA. Look for settings that specify whether current year data can be archived and adjust them if necessary (though this is generally not recommended).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific guidelines on archiving policies and procedures for your organization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Archiving Objects: Each archiving object in SAP has specific rules and configurations. Understanding these can help in managing data archiving effectively.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) and SARI (Archive Information System) for managing archiving processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding archiving issues and best practices.
  Fiscal Year Settings: Review your company’s fiscal year settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to ensure they align with your archiving strategy.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
