• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECMP109 - The archiving indicator is also set for dependent &1 / &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPECMP109 indicates that there is an issue with the archiving indicator being set 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 are attempting 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.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  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.
  
  
  Review Archiving Settings: Check the archiving settings for both the primary and dependent objects. You may need to adjust the archiving indicators for the dependent objects.
  
  
  Unmark Archiving for Dependents: If the dependent objects do not need to be archived at this time, you can unmark the archiving indicator for those objects. This can typically be done in the relevant transaction or configuration settings.
  
  
  Archive in Sequence: If you need to archive both the primary and dependent objects, consider archiving them in a specific sequence. First, archive the dependent objects, and then proceed to archive the primary object.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to the objects you are working with, as the steps may vary based on the module or type of data.
  
  
  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.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to manage archiving processes.
  Archiving Object: Each type of data in SAP has a specific archiving object associated with it. Make sure you are familiar with the archiving object related to the data you are trying to archive.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on archiving processes.
