  Meaning / Cause:
  This message indicates that the archiving parameters for the specified output type (represented by &1) and application (represented by &2) have not been maintained or are missing. In SAP, output types can be archived to manage data volume and system performance. Before archiving output data, the system requires specific archiving parameters to be set up for each output type and application.
  If these parameters are not maintained, the system cannot proceed with archiving, and this message is issued.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When attempting to archive output data (e.g., output messages from SD, MM, FI, etc.).
  During execution of archiving jobs or programs related to output management.
  When output data archiving is triggered but the system finds no archiving parameters defined for the output type/application.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Maintain Archiving Parameters:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction VN01 (or VN02 to change).
  Enter the output type (e.g., RD00, RD01, etc.) and the application (e.g., V1 for SD billing).
  Maintain the required archiving parameters such as:
  
  Archiving object
  Archive file name pattern
  Other relevant parameters depending on the output type and application.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Archiving Object:
  
  Ensure that the archiving object linked to the output type is correctly configured.
