• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1801 - No entries to be archived were found with current selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message USMD1801 indicates that there are no entries available for archiving based on the selection criteria you have specified. This message typically occurs when you are trying to archive data in the SAP system, particularly in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) or other data management processes.
  Cause:
  
  Selection Criteria: The criteria you have set for archiving may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no data being selected for archiving.
  Data Availability: There may simply be no data that meets the criteria for archiving. This could be due to the data already being archived or not existing in the system.
  Archiving Object Configuration: The archiving object may not be properly configured, or the data may not be eligible for archiving based on the defined rules.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations may prevent the system from accessing the data needed for archiving.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and not overly restrictive. You may want to broaden the criteria to see if any data can be selected.
  Check Data Existence: Verify that there is data in the system that meets the criteria. You can do this by running a report or query to see if the data exists.
  Configuration Check: Ensure that the archiving object is correctly configured in the system. This includes checking the settings in transaction SARA (Archive Administration) and ensuring that the data is eligible for archiving.
  Authorization Check: Make sure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the archiving operation. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  Test with Different Criteria: If possible, try using different selection criteria to see if you can retrieve any data for archiving.
