  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/COMMON210 indicates that a certain object cannot be archived due to its current status. The message typically follows the format:
  Cannot be archived; '&1'-status is '&2'
  Where &1 represents the object type (e.g., a transport order, shipment, etc.) and &2 represents the current status of that object.
  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is that the object you are trying to archive is in a status that does not allow archiving. For example, if the object is still in use, has not been completed, or is in a status that is not eligible for archiving, the system will prevent the archiving process to maintain data integrity.
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status: Identify the object type and its current status. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report in SAP that displays the object.
  
  
  Change the Status: If the object is in a status that prevents archiving, you may need to change its status to one that allows archiving. This could involve:
  
  Completing the object (e.g., completing a transport order).
  Changing the status to a completed or closed state.
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Settings: Ensure that the archiving settings for the object type are correctly configured. This includes checking the archiving object and the associated customizing settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for specific details on the status values and their meanings for the object type in question.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes to manage the object. For example, if it’s a transport order, you might use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TO to manage transport orders.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, other objects may depend on the object you are trying to archive. Ensure that there are no dependencies that would prevent archiving.
