• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RE227 - No data to be archived found that matched the criteria ?

  The SAP error message RE227 "No data to be archived found that matched the criteria" typically occurs when you attempt to archive data using the Archive Administration (transaction SARA) or during the execution of an archiving job, but the system does not find any data that meets the specified selection criteria for archiving.
  Causes:
  
  Selection Criteria: The criteria you have set for archiving (such as date ranges, document types, or other filters) may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being eligible for archiving.
  Data Availability: There may simply be no data available in the system that meets the archiving conditions. This could be due to the data already being archived or not existing in the specified time frame.
  Archiving Object Configuration: The archiving object may not be properly configured, or the necessary data may not have been created in the system.
  Status of Data: The data you are trying to archive may not be in a status that allows it to be archived (e.g., it may still be in use or locked).
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations may prevent the system from accessing the data needed for archiving.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have set for the archiving process. Make sure they are not too restrictive and that they accurately reflect the data you want to archive.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is indeed data in the system that meets the criteria. You can run a report or query to see if any records exist that should be archived.
  Validate Archiving Object: Ensure that the archiving object is correctly configured and that the necessary data has been created in the system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to confirm this.
  Check Data Status: Ensure that the data you are trying to archive is in a status that allows it to be archived. If the data is still in use or locked, you may need to wait until it is available for archiving.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the archiving operation. If you suspect authorization issues, consult with your SAP security team.
