• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FILAE604 - &2: Validation/substiution could not be determined ?

  The SAP error message FILAE604 typically indicates that there is an issue with the validation or substitution rules in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error occurs when the system is unable to determine the appropriate validation or substitution for a specific transaction or document.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: The validation or substitution rules may not be properly configured in the system. This could be due to missing entries in the relevant tables or incorrect settings in the configuration.
  Document Type Issues: The document type being used may not have the necessary validation or substitution rules assigned to it.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If there are custom user exits or BAdIs (Business Add-Ins) that are supposed to handle validations or substitutions, they may not be implemented correctly or may be returning unexpected results.
