F5A473 - Details

• The SAP error message F5A473 indicates that the document you are trying to process contains at least one cleared line item. This typically occurs when you are attempting to perform an action on a financial document (like a journal entry or invoice) that has already been cleared, meaning that the line items have been settled or reconciled against another document.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cleared Line Items: The document you are trying to modify or delete has line items that have been cleared. Cleared line items are those that have been settled against other transactions, and they cannot be changed or deleted without first reversing the clearing.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow modifications due to the presence of cleared items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the document to confirm its status and identify which line items are cleared. You can do this by using transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document)
