• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI141 - Posting of invoices with simultaneous matching is not possible ?

  The SAP error message FI141 ("Posting of invoices with simultaneous matching is not possible") typically occurs in the context of the Accounts Payable module when there is an attempt to post an invoice that requires simultaneous matching, but the system settings or the invoice details do not allow for this process.
  Cause:
  
  Simultaneous Matching Requirement: The error usually arises when the invoice being posted is set to require simultaneous matching with a purchase order (PO) or goods receipt (GR), but the necessary conditions for this matching are not met.
  Invoice Type: The type of invoice being processed may not support simultaneous matching. For example, certain invoice types may only allow for subsequent matching.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not be set up to allow simultaneous matching for the specific vendor or invoice type.
  Missing or Incorrect Data: The invoice may be missing required data, such as a reference to a PO or GR, or the data may be incorrect.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Invoice Type: Ensure that the invoice type you are trying to post supports simultaneous matching. If it does not, consider using a different invoice type or changing the invoice processing method.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system for the vendor and the invoice type. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for simultaneous matching.
  
  Navigate to the configuration path: SPRO > Financial Accounting > Accounts Payable > Invoice Verification > Activate/Deactivate Simultaneous Matching.
  
  
  Verify Invoice Data: Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly in the invoice. This includes checking that the invoice references the correct PO or GR.
  Use Subsequent Matching: If simultaneous matching is not necessary, consider using subsequent matching instead. This can be done by changing the invoice processing method.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and business processes.
