• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI970 - Subsequent postings not allowed in account statement view ?

  The SAP error message FI970 ("Subsequent postings not allowed in account statement view") typically occurs when you attempt to make a subsequent posting to a financial document that is already in a closed status or has been finalized in the account statement view. This error is common in financial accounting (FI) modules when dealing with transactions that have already been processed and posted.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document you are trying to post to may be in a status that does not allow further postings. This can happen if the document has been cleared, archived, or if it is part of a closed period.
  Account Type Restrictions: Certain account types (like reconciliation accounts) may have restrictions on subsequent postings.

  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the Financial Accounting module to see if there are any restrictions on subsequent postings for the specific account or document type.
  Create a New Document: If the original document cannot be modified, consider creating a new document to reflect the necessary changes.
