• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDEREG_INV012 - Document type &1 not defined as 'Permitted Doc. Types' in Customizing ?

  The SAP error message EDEREG_INV012 indicates that a specific document type (denoted as &1 in the error message) is not defined as a permitted document type in the system's configuration. This error typically arises in the context of electronic invoicing or document processing where specific document types must be allowed in the system settings.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the document type you are trying to use is not included in the list of permitted document types in the relevant configuration settings. This can happen if:
  
  The document type has not been defined in the system.
  The document type is defined but not marked as permitted for the specific process you are trying to execute.
  There may have been changes in the configuration that excluded the document type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the document type is correctly defined and permitted in the system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Customizing:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and enter the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Navigate to the Relevant Configuration:
  
  Follow the path: Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Document Entry -> Document Types -> Define Document Types.
  Alternatively, you may need to check under Logistics or Sales and Distribution depending on the context of the document type.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Look for the document type that corresponds to &1 in the error message.
  Ensure that it is defined and that the settings allow it to be used in the context you are working with (e.g., electronic invoicing).
  
  
  
  Add Document Type to Permitted List:
  
  If the document type is not listed as permitted, you will need to add it to the list of permitted document types for the relevant process.
  This may involve adjusting settings in the electronic invoicing configuration or other related areas.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Process:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on configuring document types and electronic invoicing.
