• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PICM/UI109 - &1 has been archived and does not exist in the system ?

  The SAP error message /PICM/UI109 &1 has been archived and does not exist in the system typically indicates that a specific object or record you are trying to access has been archived and is no longer available in the active database. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of data management and archiving processes.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving Process: The object you are trying to access has been archived as part of the data management strategy in your SAP system. Archiving is a process used to remove data from the active database to improve performance and manage data volume.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The reference to the object may be incorrect, or the object may have been deleted or moved.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to archive certain types of data after a specific period, leading to the unavailability of that data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archive Status: Verify if the object has indeed been archived. You can do this by checking the archive management transactions in SAP, such as SARA (Archive Administration).
  Access Archived Data: If you need to access the archived data, you can use the archive information system (transaction SARI) to view or restore archived objects.
  Review Object Reference: Ensure that the reference you are using to access the object is correct. Double-check any IDs or keys you are using.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about the archiving policies or need assistance in retrieving archived data, consult your SAP Basis team or system administrator.
  Adjust Archiving Settings: If the archiving process is too aggressive for your business needs, consider adjusting the archiving settings to retain data for a longer period.
  
  Related Information:
