the database.
System Response
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
How to fix this error?
If you want to retrieve the document from the archive in order to
display it, you must first change your document display processing
options (select the option "Search for documents in archive").
<DS:TRAN.FB00> Change processing options</>
This option is however not possible unless the document index has been
maintained in the archive to enable you to access documents. To maintain
the index, you must set the option 'Build index' for the delete program
for object FI_DOCUMNT, in the archiving configuration function. Failing
this, you can generate the index retroactively using program SAPF048S.
No prerequisites are required for documents in the cold area of the
database.
