• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG099 - Tolerances not possible when specifying minimum number of doc. line items ?

  The SAP error message FG099, which states "Tolerances not possible when specifying minimum number of doc. line items," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or document processing within SAP. This error is related to the configuration of tolerances for document line items, particularly when certain conditions are not met.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Configuration: The error usually arises when the system is configured to enforce specific tolerances for document line items, but the minimum number of line items specified in the document does not meet the criteria set in the tolerance configuration.
  Document Type Settings: The document type being used may have specific settings that conflict with the tolerance settings.
  Minimum Line Item Requirement: If a minimum number of line items is required for a transaction, and the current document does not meet this requirement, the system will throw this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings: Check the tolerance settings in the configuration. You can do this by navigating to the following path in SAP:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ? Business Transactions ? Incoming Payments ? Define Tolerances for Incoming Payments.
  Ensure that the tolerances are set correctly and that they align with the requirements of your business processes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings: Review the settings for the document type you are using. Ensure that the document type allows for the number of line items you are trying to process. You can check this in:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Document ? Document Types ? Define Document Types.
  
  
  
  Modify Minimum Line Item Requirement: If the minimum number of line items is too high for your current transaction, consider adjusting this requirement in the configuration settings.
  
  
  Check for Customizations: If your organization has custom developments or enhancements, check if any custom logic is affecting the tolerance settings or line item requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are working with to understand any additional requirements or settings that may be relevant.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OB29 (for tolerance groups) or OBA7 (for document types) to access the relevant configuration settings.
