• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECMP108 - The archiving indicator is also set for dependent &1 ?

  The SAP error message PPECMP108 indicates that there is an issue related to the archiving indicator for a dependent object in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to archive a primary object, but there are dependent objects that also have the archiving indicator set, which prevents the archiving process from completing successfully.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to archive a primary object (like a document or a record) that has dependent objects (like line items or related records) that are also marked for archiving.
  The system enforces a rule that prevents archiving of a primary object if its dependent objects are also set for archiving, as this could lead to data integrity issues.

  Identify Dependent Objects: Determine which dependent objects are causing the issue. You can usually find this information in the error message details or by checking the related records in the database.

  Adjust Archiving Settings:
  
  If the dependent objects do not need to be archived, you can unset the archiving indicator for those objects.
  If the dependent objects need to be archived, you should archive them first before attempting to archive the primary object.
  
  
  
  Perform Archiving in Correct Order: Ensure that you are archiving objects in the correct order. Archive dependent objects before archiving the primary object.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to archiving processes for specific guidance on handling dependent objects.
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic: If there are custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, ensure that they are not interfering with the archiving process.
