• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_ID_XX_ODN066 - Impossible to change digital signature setting: numbering already started ?

  The SAP error message FKK_ID_XX_ODN066 indicates that there is an issue with changing the digital signature settings in the context of a document or transaction where numbering has already started. This typically occurs in the context of contract management, billing, or other financial documents where digital signatures are used for validation and approval.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to change the digital signature settings after the numbering for the document has already begun. In SAP, once a document is created and assigned a number, certain settings related to that document become locked to maintain data integrity and consistency. Changing the digital signature settings at this point can lead to inconsistencies or conflicts in the document's lifecycle.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to modify. If the document has already been created and numbered, you may not be able to change the digital signature settings.
  
  
  Create a New Document: If changing the digital signature settings is essential, you may need to create a new document with the desired settings before the numbering starts.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you believe that the settings should be changeable, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to digital signatures and document numbering. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow changes under certain conditions.
  
  
  Review Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to digital signature settings. Sometimes, restrictions may be in place based on user roles.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
