• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI665 - Commitment item & is a summarization item ?

  The SAP error message FI665 typically indicates an issue related to commitment items in the context of financial accounting and controlling. This error occurs when a commitment item is being used in a way that is not compatible with its definition as a summarization item.
  Cause:
  The error message FI665 arises when:
  
  A commitment item that is defined as a summarization item is being used in a transaction that requires a detailed commitment item.
  The system expects a detailed commitment item for the transaction, but the provided commitment item is set up to summarize multiple items, which is not allowed in this context.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FI665 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Commitment Item Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for commitment items in SAP (Transaction Code: OPM4).
  Verify if the commitment item in question is indeed set up as a summarization item. If it is, you may need to use a different commitment item that is not a summarization item for your transaction.
  
  
  
  Use a Detailed Commitment Item:
  
  If the transaction requires a detailed commitment item, ensure that you are using the correct commitment item that is not defined as a summarization item.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Context:
  
  Analyze the context in which the error occurred. Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the commitment item you are using.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on commitment items and their configurations.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
