• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >1402 - Line item (&1,&2,&3) has not been cleared ?

  The SAP error message 1402 indicates that a line item in a financial document has not been cleared. This typically occurs in the context of accounts payable or accounts receivable, where a transaction has not been fully settled or cleared against its corresponding entry.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:

  Open Items: There are still open items associated with the line item that need to be addressed.
  Incorrect Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for clearing (e.g., it is blocked for payment).
  Posting Errors: There may have been errors in posting transactions that resulted in discrepancies.
  Currency Differences: If there are currency differences between the invoice and the payment, this can prevent clearing.
  Manual Intervention: Sometimes, manual adjustments or corrections may leave items uncleared.

  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the Line Item: Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display) to review the specific line item details.

  Clear Open Items: If there are open items, you may need to clear them manually using transaction F-32 (for customers) or F-44 (for vendors).
  Review Document Status: Check if the document is blocked or in a status that prevents clearing. You may need to change the status or unblock the document.
  Adjust Currency Differences: If currency differences are causing the issue, you may need to post a currency adjustment.
