• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB801 - Item cleared by subseq.doc.for doc. & vendor &; no output ?

  The SAP error message FB801 ("Item cleared by subsequent document for document & vendor &; no output") typically occurs in the context of financial accounting when there is an attempt to process a document that has already been cleared by a subsequent document. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to print or process a document that has already been settled or cleared.
  Cause:
  
  Cleared Document: The document you are trying to process has been cleared by a subsequent document. This means that the financial transaction has been settled, and the original document is no longer active for processing.
  Incorrect Document Status: The document may have been marked as cleared in the system, which prevents further processing.
  Output Determination: The system may not be able to determine the output for a cleared document, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) to see if the document has indeed been cleared.
  Review Subsequent Documents: Identify any subsequent documents that may have cleared the original document. This can help you understand the flow of transactions and why the original document is no longer available for processing.
  Reprocess if Necessary: If you need to reprocess the document, you may need to reverse the clearing or create a new document that reflects the necessary adjustments.
  Output Configuration: If the issue is related to output determination, check the output configuration settings in the system to ensure that they are set up correctly for the document type you are working with.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling cleared documents and output determination.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document), FB08 (Reverse Document), and FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to analyze the situation further.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and process the documents in question, as lack of permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in financial accounting within SAP.
