• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB144 - A statement has already been imported for account & and date &&& ?

  The SAP error message FB144 indicates that a statement has already been imported for a specific account and date. This typically occurs during the process of importing bank statements or electronic bank statements into the SAP system, particularly when using transaction codes like FF.5 or FF.6.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Import: The most common cause of this error is that the bank statement for the specified account and date has already been imported into the system. SAP prevents the import of duplicate statements to maintain data integrity.
  Incorrect Date Range: If the date range specified for the import overlaps with an already processed statement, this error may occur.
  Manual Entry: If a statement was manually entered or processed before the import, it could lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Statements: Verify if the statement for the specified account and date has already been imported. You can do this by checking the bank statement processing logs or using transaction codes like FEBAN (for bank statement processing).
  Adjust Import File: If you find that the statement has already been imported, you may need to adjust your import file to exclude the duplicate entry or modify the date.
  Delete or Reverse Previous Entry: If the previous import was incorrect or needs to be reversed, you can delete or reverse the entry in the system before attempting to import the new statement.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to bank statement processing for additional guidance on handling this error.
