• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F5A036 - Only documents posted in FI are displayed in this overview ?

  The SAP error message F5A036, which states "Only documents posted in FI are displayed in this overview," typically occurs when you are trying to view financial documents in a report or overview that is specifically designed to show only those documents that have been posted in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This message indicates that the system is filtering out documents that are not part of the FI module.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type: The document you are trying to view may not be a financial document. For example, it could be a controlling (CO) document or a document from another module (like MM or SD) that does not have a corresponding FI entry.
  Posting Status: The document may not have been posted yet or may have been reversed, which would prevent it from appearing in the FI overview.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the report may be too restrictive, leading to the exclusion of certain documents.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that limit the display of documents to only those that are relevant to FI.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Type: Verify that the document you are trying to view is indeed a financial document. You can do this by checking the document type and ensuring it is relevant to FI.
  Review Posting Status: Ensure that the document has been posted correctly in the FI module. If it has been reversed or not posted, it will not appear in the overview.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify the selection criteria in the report to broaden the search parameters. This may include changing date ranges, document types, or other filters that may be applied.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the FI module to ensure that there are no restrictions on the types of documents that can be displayed in the overview.
  Use Alternative Reports: If the document is not an FI document, consider using reports that are designed to show documents from other modules, such as CO or MM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document), FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display), or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to view financial documents.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, specific patches or updates can resolve issues related to document visibility.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the documents in question. Lack of proper authorization can also lead to missing documents in reports.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the FI module for further assistance.
