• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIEBPP016 - You can only make partial payments starting at & % of the bill amount ?

  The SAP error message FIEBPP016 indicates that you are attempting to make a partial payment on a bill, but the system has restrictions on the minimum amount that can be paid as a partial payment. The message specifies that partial payments can only be made starting at a certain percentage of the total bill amount.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The error is typically caused by configuration settings in the SAP system that define the minimum percentage of the bill amount that can be paid as a partial payment. This is often set in the payment terms or in the vendor/customer master data.
  Payment Terms: The payment terms associated with the invoice may specify that only certain amounts or percentages can be paid partially.
  Invoice Amount: The amount you are trying to pay may not meet the minimum threshold defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payment Terms: Review the payment terms associated with the invoice. You may need to adjust the payment terms to allow for a lower minimum percentage for partial payments.
  Adjust Payment Amount: If you are trying to make a partial payment, ensure that the amount you are attempting to pay meets the minimum percentage requirement specified in the error message.
  Configuration Changes: If you have the necessary permissions, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system to change the minimum percentage for partial payments. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
  Consult with SAP Administrator: If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP administrator or the finance team to address the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or documentation for detailed information on payment terms and configuration settings related to partial payments.
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OBB8 (for payment terms) or FK02 (to change vendor master data) to review and modify settings.
  User Exits or BAdIs: In some cases, custom logic may be implemented through user exits or BAdIs that could affect how partial payments are processed.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal IT team for further troubleshooting.
