Had you archived other objects before archiving batches?

E.g. production orders, purchase orders, sales order, deliveries, inspection lots?

You cannot archive batches that are contained in transactional data.

the depend batch record for MCH1 is the MCHA record which is not archived because of the usage in inspection lots

when you archive batches then check whether you have stock is only one check among many other checks (my last archive test run on batches gave me 22 different errors why batches cannot be archived, and there are probably more checks)

You cannot just archive anything in the middle of a business flow. If you had used the batch for deliveries, then you have to archive the delivery first to be able to achive the batch.

Imagine what would happen if you could archive the batch without archiving the delivery: The user could cancel the goods issue of this delivery, which would create the batch again. But then the information (like creation date, production date, eventually classification ..)in the batch record would be different to the original batch.

in SARA enter MM_SPSTOCK then click the first button above on the left called network

It gives you all objects that need to be archived first before you can archive your batches.

Hi Apara,

Go in MB51 and check whether stock exists for this batch. because there is inspection stock where this batch is used.
