SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VHURL - Messages for Returnable Packaging Account Processing

• Message number: 221

• Message text: The preceding account &1 is not yet archived

What causes this issue?

The returnable packaging account to be archived has a preceding
account. This account is not set for archiving. The account to be
archived overwrites the validity of the preceding account. If the
account is archived, it will no longer overwrite the preceding account,
and the preceding account will be valid again.

System Response

The system does not archive accounts that have preceding accounts in
the system. The account is not archived. The system proceeds with
checking the next account.

How to fix this error?

Set the preceding account so that it fulfils the prerequisites for
archiving. A returnable packaging account can be archived if it has the
status "marked for deletion". You set this status manually in
Returnable Packaging Logistics (transaction RL02).

Procedure for System Administrators
