• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/ARCHIVE013 - Design &1 still linked to orders, cannot set deletion indicator ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/ARCHIVE013 indicates that a design (or object) is still linked to orders, which prevents the system from setting a deletion indicator for that design. This typically occurs in the context of archiving or deleting data in SAP, particularly in the area of project management or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Linked Orders: The design you are trying to delete or set a deletion indicator for is still associated with one or more orders. This could be production orders, maintenance orders, or any other type of order that references the design.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that you do not accidentally delete or archive data that is still in use or linked to other important data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Linked Orders:
  
  Use transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or IW33 (Display Maintenance Order) to check if there are any active orders linked to the design.
  You may also use specific reports or queries to find all orders associated with the design.
  
  
  
  Remove Links:
  
  If you find that there are orders linked to the design, you will need to either complete, close, or delete those orders, depending on your business process and requirements.
  If the orders are no longer needed, you can delete them. If they are still required, consider completing or closing them.
  
  
  
  Set Deletion Indicator:
  
  Once all links to the design have been removed, you should be able to set the deletion indicator without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the design in other areas of the system, such as BOMs (Bill of Materials), routing, or other related objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing orders and designs, such as CO01 (Create Production Order), CO02 (Change Production Order), IW31 (Create Maintenance Order), etc.
  Archiving Process: Understand the archiving process in SAP, including the prerequisites and steps involved in archiving data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions related to this error message.
