• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B555 - Item & is missing in reference document but NF type is not "complementar" ?

  The SAP error message "8B555 Item & is missing in reference document but NF type is not 'complementar'" typically occurs in the context of document processing, particularly when dealing with invoices or financial documents. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the items in the current document and the reference document (such as a purchase order or another invoice).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Item: The item referenced in the error message is not present in the reference document. This could happen if the item was deleted or not included in the original document.
  NF Type: The error specifies that the NF (Nota Fiscal) type is not "complementar," which means that the system expects a certain type of document (like a complementary invoice) that allows for adjustments or corrections.
  Document Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how documents are processed and validated against reference documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Reference Document: Verify the reference document to ensure that the item in question is indeed present. If it is missing, you may need to add it or correct the reference.
  Review NF Type: If the NF type is not "complementar," consider whether the document should be processed as a complementary invoice. If so, you may need to change the document type or create a new document that is appropriate for the transaction.
  Adjust Document Items: If the item is not supposed to be in the reference document, you may need to adjust the items in the current document to match the reference.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to document processing and item validation. There may be specific rules or configurations that need to be adjusted.
