• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAP_CMP029 - Open items selected differ in & and cannot be paid together ?

  The SAP error message FAP_CMP029 indicates that there are open items selected for payment that differ in certain characteristics and therefore cannot be processed together. This typically occurs in the context of payment processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with accounts payable or receivable.

  The error usually arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Different Payment Methods: The selected open items may have different payment methods assigned (e.g., bank transfer, check, etc.).
