• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FD129 - IDoc contains only items with zero amount; no posting required ?

  The SAP error message FD129 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) contains only items with a zero amount, which means that there are no financial transactions to post. This error typically arises during the processing of IDocs related to financial postings, such as invoices or credit memos.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Amount Transactions: The IDoc being processed contains line items that have a zero amount. This can happen if the data being sent to SAP is incorrect or if the business process does not generate any monetary value for the transaction.
  Incorrect Data Mapping: There may be issues with how the data is mapped from the source system to the IDoc structure, leading to zero amounts being sent.
  Business Logic: In some cases, the business logic may dictate that certain transactions should not generate postings if they do not have a monetary value.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the IDoc Data: Check the contents of the IDoc to ensure that it is supposed to contain financial transactions. Look for any line items that have a zero amount and verify if this is expected.
  Correct Data Generation: If the zero amounts are not expected, investigate the source system or the process that generates the IDoc. Ensure that the data being sent is correct and that it includes valid amounts.
  Adjust Mapping: If there are issues with data mapping, correct the mapping configuration to ensure that the correct amounts are being sent in the IDoc.
  Business Process Review: If the zero amounts are valid but not intended for posting, review the business process to determine if these transactions should be excluded from IDoc generation or if they need to be handled differently.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the IDoc processing logic to manage cases where zero amounts are encountered, if applicable.
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Monitoring: Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE05 to monitor IDocs and analyze their status and contents.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to IDocs and zero amounts.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific IDoc type being used to understand its structure and requirements.
  Consult with Functional Team: If you are unsure about the business implications of the zero amounts, consult with the functional team responsible for the relevant business process.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the FD129 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
