• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA877 - No worklists can be selected from the archive ?

  The SAP error message AA877 ("No worklists can be selected from the archive") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when trying to process worklists related to asset transactions. This error indicates that the system cannot find any worklists available for selection from the archive.
  Causes:
  
  No Archived Worklists: The most common cause is that there are no worklists archived in the system. This can happen if the archiving process has not been executed or if the worklists have been deleted.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to retrieve worklists may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no results being found.

  Check Archived Worklists: Verify if any worklists have been archived. You can do this by checking the archiving logs or using transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to see if any worklists exist in the archive.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review and adjust the selection criteria you are using to retrieve worklists. Ensure that the criteria are broad enough to include available worklists.
  Run Archiving Process: If no worklists are found, consider running the archiving process for asset accounting to create archived worklists. This can be done using transaction code SARA and selecting the appropriate object for archiving.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access archived worklists. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to Asset Accounting and archiving processes for any specific configurations or known issues.
