  The SAP error message WME_ARCH212 indicates that there is still stock in the LIME (Logistics Inventory Management Environment) for a particular storage location or material, which is preventing certain operations from being completed. This error typically arises in the context of archiving or deleting data related to materials that still have stock on hand.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to archive or delete a material or storage location that still has stock available in the LIME.

  Solution:
  To resolve the WME_ARCH212 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Use transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) or MB52 (List of Warehouse Stocks on Hand) to check if there is any stock remaining for the material in question.
  
  
  Clear Stock: If there is stock available, you will need to either:
  
  Sell the stock (create sales orders and deliver the goods).
  Transfer the stock to another location (using transfer postings).
  Scrap the stock if it is no longer usable.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inventory: If the stock is not needed, you can perform a stock adjustment or write-off to clear the stock from the system.
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving: Once all stock has been cleared, you can re-attempt the archiving process.
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions: Ensure that there are no open transactions related to the material, such as purchase orders or production orders, that could be holding up the archiving process.
