• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >2790 - Function &2 not possible, individual items already posted ?

  The SAP error message "2790 Function &2 not possible, individual items already posted" typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when trying to perform a function that is not allowed because individual line items have already been posted. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Individual Item Posting: The error indicates that the function you are trying to execute (e.g., reversing a document, changing a line item, etc.) cannot be performed because one or more individual items in the document have already been posted to the ledger.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow further changes or reversals.
  Transaction Type Restrictions: Certain transaction types may have restrictions on modifications once they are posted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the document you are trying to modify. If it has already been posted, you may need to reverse the entire document instead of individual items.
  Use Reversal Transactions: If you need to reverse a posted document, use the appropriate reversal transaction (e.g., FB08 for reversing a financial document).
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing or modifying a document, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies.
  Review Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the transactions you are trying to modify or reverse.
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action you are attempting.
