  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTE_FIN_POSTING141 - Delta posting failed due to unallowed changes in field &1. ?

    The SAP error message CTE_FIN_POSTING141 indicates that a delta posting has failed due to unallowed changes in a specific field. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings, where certain fields are not allowed to be changed after a document has been posted. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Field Restrictions: The error arises when an attempt is made to change a field that is not allowed to be modified after the initial posting. This could include fields like amounts, account assignments, or other critical financial data.
    2. Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not permit changes, such as being locked for posting or already being processed in a subsequent period.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to certain fields after posting.

    Solution:

    1. Review the Field: Identify the specific field mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1) and understand its role in the posting. Check if the field is indeed supposed to be changeable after posting.
    2. Check Document Status: Ensure that the document is not in a status that prevents changes. If necessary, unlock the document or change its status to allow for modifications.
    3. Correct Posting Logic: If the delta posting is being triggered incorrectly, review the logic or process that leads to the delta posting. Ensure that only allowed changes are being attempted.
    4. Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to financial postings. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for certain changes if appropriate.
    5. Use Correct Transaction: If you are trying to make changes to a posted document, consider using the appropriate transaction for adjustments, such as a reversal or adjustment posting, rather than attempting to modify the original document directly.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB02 (Change Document), FB08 (Reverse Document), or others that may be applicable for handling financial postings.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to financial postings and delta postings to understand the rules and restrictions that apply.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
