• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_PAY013 - Payment methods check and transfer are only possible for receivables ?

  The SAP error message FKK_PAY013 indicates that the payment methods check and transfer are only applicable for receivables. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module when attempting to process a payment that is not associated with a receivable account.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Account Type: The transaction you are trying to process is likely associated with a payables account (liabilities) rather than a receivables account (assets). The payment methods in question are designed to work only with receivables.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the payment method or account type that restrict the use of certain payment methods to receivables only.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type you are using may not be compatible with the payment methods you are trying to apply.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Account Type: Ensure that the account you are trying to process the payment for is a receivable account. If it is a payable account, you will need to use a different payment method or process.
  Review Payment Method Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the payment method in the SAP system. Ensure that the payment method is set up to be used with receivables. You can check this in the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ? Business Transactions ? Incoming Payments ? Payment Methods in Country
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: If you are trying to process a payment for a payable account, use the appropriate transaction for outgoing payments instead of incoming payments.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for the type of transaction you are processing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction you are attempting.
  Testing in a Sandbox: If possible, replicate the issue in a test environment to better understand the cause and test potential solutions without affecting production data.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the FI-CA module for further assistance.
