• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SO332 - Document(s) moved; check the expiration date ?

  The SAP error message SO332 ("Document(s) moved; check the expiration date") typically occurs in the context of SAP Archive Management. This message indicates that the document you are trying to access has been archived and is no longer available in the active database. Instead, it has been moved to an archive storage, and you need to check the expiration date to determine if the document is still accessible.
  Cause:
  
  Document Archiving: The document has been archived based on the archiving policies set in the SAP system. This is often done to manage database size and improve performance.
  Expiration Date: The document may have an expiration date that has passed, meaning it is no longer retrievable from the archive.
  Incorrect Access: The user may be trying to access a document that is not available in the current context or has been moved to a different storage location.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archive Status: Use transaction code SARA to check the archiving status of the document. You can look for the specific document type and see if it has been archived.
  Access Archived Documents: If the document is archived, you may need to use the appropriate transaction or report to retrieve it from the archive. This often involves using transaction codes like SARI (for displaying archived documents).
  Review Expiration Dates: Check the expiration date of the document. If it has expired, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis or Archive Management team to see if there are options for retrieving or restoring the document.
  Adjust Archiving Policies: If this is a frequent issue, consider reviewing and adjusting the archiving policies to ensure that important documents are retained for a longer period or are archived in a way that meets business needs.
