  The SAP error message BNK_GENERAL228 indicates that there is an issue with processing a batch of payments. Specifically, the message states: "Returned batch &1: All payments must be processed together." This typically occurs in the context of payment processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with payment runs or batch processing of financial transactions.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Inconsistent Payment Data: The payments in the batch may have inconsistent data or statuses that prevent them from being processed together. For example, some payments may be in a different status (e.g., some are ready for payment while others are not).
  
  
  Batch Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the payment run may require that all payments in a batch must meet certain criteria or conditions to be processed together.
  
  
  Missing Dependencies: There may be dependencies or prerequisites that have not been met for one or more payments in the batch.
  
  
  System Settings: The system may be configured to require that all payments in a batch must be processed in a specific manner, and if any payment does not conform to this requirement, the entire batch fails.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Payment Data: Check the individual payments in the batch for any inconsistencies or issues. Ensure that all payments are in the correct status and have the necessary data filled out.
  
  
  Check Batch Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the payment run in SAP. Ensure that the settings allow for the processing of the payments as intended.
  
  
  Process Payments Individually: If the payments cannot be processed together due to their statuses or data, consider processing them individually or in smaller batches that meet the criteria.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the error message and any related configuration settings that may need to be adjusted.
