• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICA_COLIABILITY_OBJ090 - &1 &2 &3 &4 has debtor status inactive ?

  The SAP error message FICA_COLIABILITY_OBJ090 indicates that a specific object (in this case, a debtor) has an inactive status, which prevents certain operations from being performed. This error typically arises in the context of the Financial Contract Accounting (FICA) module, particularly when dealing with debtors and their associated liabilities.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when you attempt to perform an operation (like posting a transaction, creating a contract, etc.) on a debtor that is marked as inactive. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Debtor Status: The debtor may have been set to inactive due to business processes, such as closure of accounts, or it may have been manually set to inactive by a user.
  Data Maintenance: There may have been changes in the debtor's status during data maintenance activities, leading to the current inactive status.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in the FICA module that dictate when a debtor should be marked as inactive.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Debtor Status:
  
  Navigate to the debtor master data in the SAP system.
  Verify the status of the debtor in question. If it is marked as inactive, you will need to determine if it should be reactivated.
  
  
  
  Reactivate the Debtor:
  
  If the debtor should be active, you can change the status back to active. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the debtor master data transaction (e.g., using transaction code FD02 for changing customer data).
  Modifying the status field to set it to active.
  Saving the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes:
  
  Ensure that the debtor's inactive status aligns with your business processes. If the debtor is meant to be inactive, you may need to adjust your operations accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines within your organization regarding debtor management and status changes.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in FICA for further assistance.
