  The SAP error message F5735, which states "FI interface: Small difference & & & cannot be distributed," typically occurs in the context of financial postings and indicates that there is a small difference in amounts that cannot be processed or distributed correctly in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error often arises during the posting of documents, especially when dealing with intercompany transactions or when integrating with other modules.
