The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If an error has occurred in at least one individual BAPI and despite
this you call BAPI "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT", this message is issued with
message type I (information).
If an error has occurred in at least one individual BAPI and in BAPI
"BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT", but despite this you carry out a COMMIT WORK (for
example, using BAPI "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT"), the current program is
terminated and this message is issued with message type X (exit).
This is necessary to ensure data consistency for all objects created,
changed, and/or deleted in this LUW.
Note that the current LUW was not successfully closed and that no new
LUW can be started in this status.

System Response

The precommit is not executed, or the COMMIT WORK leads to a
termination.

How to fix this error?

Change the calls of the individual BAPIs so that no errors occur during
the individual checks or during the subsequent overall check.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNIF_PI056 - Error in individual BAPIs or precommit: posting not possible ?

  The SAP error message CNIF_PI056 indicates that there is an issue with the posting process in the context of BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) or precommit operations. This error typically arises when there is a problem with the data being processed or the state of the system that prevents the posting from being completed successfully.
  Causes of CNIF_PI056
  
  
  Data Issues: The data being passed to the BAPI may be incomplete, incorrect, or not in the expected format. This can include missing mandatory fields, invalid values, or data that violates business rules.
  
  
  Locking Issues: The object you are trying to post may be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the current transaction from proceeding.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the BAPI may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the posting.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are preventing the posting from being executed, such as settings related to document types, posting periods, or other related configurations.
  
  
  System Errors: There could be underlying system errors or inconsistencies that are causing the posting to fail.
  
  
  Solutions to CNIF_PI056
  
  
  Check Data: Review the data being passed to the BAPI. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that the data adheres to the expected formats and business rules.
  
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the objects you are trying to post. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the BAPI has the necessary authorizations. You can check this using transaction SU53 to see if there were any authorization failures.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the posting process. This may involve checking document types, posting periods, and other relevant settings in the configuration.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the BAPI call to identify the exact point of failure. This may require technical expertise in ABAP programming.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that can provide more context about the failure.
