  The SAP error message FISLOG505: Document was completely cleared typically occurs in the context of financial accounting, particularly when dealing with clearing documents in accounts payable or accounts receivable. This message indicates that the document you are trying to process has already been fully cleared, meaning that all the associated transactions have been settled, and there are no outstanding amounts left to process.

  Avoid Duplicate Entries: Ensure that you are not trying to process the same document multiple times. If you need to make adjustments, consider whether a new document needs to be created instead.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you believe the document should not be cleared, consult with your finance or accounting team to investigate further. They may need to reverse the clearing if it was done in error.
