How To Fix BFIBL02231 - Payment advice note created for payment document &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BFIBL02 - Payment Medium: Messages

• Message number: 231

• Message text: Payment advice note created for payment document &1

What causes this issue?

During setup of the note to payee for payment &V1(Z)& it was
established that there is insufficient space allocated for the format
&V2(Z)& in Customizing. For this reason a payment advice note is
created for the payment mentionned above. The payee is &V3(Z)&.

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?

You should not take any action unless, during the next creation of a
payment medium, you are going to require more note to payee lines to be
available for format &V2(Z)&. Should this be the case, you have to
increase the number of lines in Customizing for note to payee category
1.
In addition, you should make sure that lines of type 4 are defined in
the relevant note to payee. These are then output in place of type 1
note to payee lines because the necessary space for these was lacking.
