This error indicates that the system cannot find an active info structure associated with the archiving object you are trying to use.

  Check Info Structure Activation:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to the relevant path for Quality Management and check the info structures.
  Ensure that the info structure you are trying to archive is active. If it is not, activate it.
