• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICA_CD036 - Payment lot &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message FICA_CD036 indicates that a payment lot with the specified identifier already exists in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of the Financial Contract Accounting (FICA) module when attempting to create a new payment lot that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Payment Lot: The most common cause of this error is that a payment lot with the same identifier (number) has already been created in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The payment lot was created previously and not yet processed.
  There was an attempt to create a payment lot with a manually specified identifier that already exists.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration may allow for certain identifiers to be reused, but if the identifier is still active or in use, the system will prevent the creation of a new lot with the same identifier.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Payment Lots: 
  
  Use transaction codes like FPL9 (Display Payment Lot) or FPL1 (Create Payment Lot) to check if the payment lot with the specified identifier already exists.
  If it does exist, you may need to use that existing lot instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier: 
  
  If you are manually specifying the payment lot identifier, consider using a different identifier that does not conflict with existing lots.
  
  
  
  Delete or Process Existing Lot: 
  
  If the existing payment lot is no longer needed, you can delete it (if allowed) or process it to free up the identifier for reuse.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to understand the specific rules and configurations related to payment lot creation in your system.
  
  
  
  Check for System Updates: 
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as there may be patches or updates that address issues related to payment lot management.
