• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICA_COLIABILITY_OBJ091 - Open item &1 already fully cleared. Distribution is no longer allowed ?

  The SAP error message FICA_COLIABILITY_OBJ091 indicates that you are trying to perform a distribution on an open item that has already been fully cleared. This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting, particularly in the area of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA).
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to distribute amounts related to an open item that has already been settled or cleared. In SAP, once an open item is fully cleared, it is no longer eligible for further distribution or adjustments. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Transaction: You may be trying to perform a distribution on an item that has already been processed.
  Data Entry Error: There might be a mistake in the data entry that led to the selection of a cleared item.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that does not allow distributions on cleared items.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Open Item:
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to check the status of the open item in question.
  Confirm whether the item is indeed fully cleared.
  
  
  
  Review the Distribution Process:
  
  Ensure that you are selecting the correct open item for distribution. If the item is cleared, you will need to select an appropriate item that is still open.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Transaction:
  
  If you mistakenly selected a cleared item, go back and choose an open item that requires distribution.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you believe the item should not be cleared or if there is a configuration issue, consult with your SAP administrator or support team to investigate further.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
