This error typically arises in the context of SAP Real Estate Management when attempting to access or process a document that is expected to be archived but is not.

  Solution:
  
  Check Archiving Status: Verify if the document is eligible for archiving. You can check the status of the document in the SAP system to see if it meets the criteria for archiving.
  Run Archiving Job: If the document is eligible but has not been archived, you may need to run the relevant archiving job. This can typically be done through transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration).
  Review Configuration: Check the archiving configuration settings in the system to ensure that they are correctly set up for the document type in question.
  Document Management: If the document is still in use or locked, you may need to resolve any issues related to its status before it can be archived.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on archiving documents in the Real Estate Management module.
