• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE185 - Postingástatusáof selected Bill of Exchange &1 mustábeá"Initial" ?

  The SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE185 indicates that the posting status of the selected Bill of Exchange (BoE) must be "Initial" in order to proceed with the operation you are attempting. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions involving Bills of Exchange, which are used as a means of payment or credit in business transactions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the Bill of Exchange you are trying to process has a posting status that is not "Initial." This could mean that the BoE has already been processed, posted, or is in a different status that does not allow for the action you are trying to perform (e.g., posting, modifying, or deleting).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Bill of Exchange:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or report in SAP where you can view the details of the Bill of Exchange.
  Verify the current posting status of the BoE. It should be "Initial" for you to proceed.
  
  
  
  Reset or Reverse Previous Transactions:
  
  If the BoE has been posted or processed, you may need to reverse or reset the previous transaction. This could involve using specific SAP transactions designed for reversing postings (e.g., FB08 for reversing financial documents).
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  
  
  Create a New Bill of Exchange:
  
  If the existing BoE cannot be reset or if it is in a status that cannot be changed, consider creating a new Bill of Exchange with the correct initial status.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the status or how to proceed, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
