  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG723 indicates that a specific agreement (in this case, denoted as &1) is either archived or marked for archiving. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to access or process an agreement that is no longer available in the active database due to archiving processes.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving: The agreement has been archived to save space in the database. Archiving is a common practice in SAP to manage data volume and improve system performance.
  Marked for Archiving: The agreement is flagged for archiving but has not yet been processed. This means it is not available for active use but is still in the system as a candidate for future archiving.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Archiving Status:
  
  Use transaction code SARA to check the archiving status of the agreement. You can look for the specific object related to the agreement to see if it has been archived.
  
  
  
  Restore Archived Data:
  
  If the agreement is archived and you need to access it, you may need to restore it from the archive. This can be done using the same transaction SARA or by using specific restoration tools provided by SAP.
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Settings:
  
  If the agreement is marked for archiving but not yet archived, review the archiving settings and processes to determine why it is marked. You may need to adjust the archiving criteria or process to ensure that it is handled appropriately.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for Transportation Management and archiving processes to understand the implications of archiving agreements and how to manage them effectively.
