• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX398 - Mass change is only allowed for items with same status ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX398, which states "Mass change is only allowed for items with same status," typically occurs when you are trying to perform a mass change operation on a set of items (such as invoices, payments, or other financial documents) that do not share the same status. This restriction is in place to ensure data integrity and consistency during mass updates.
  Cause:
  
  Different Statuses: The items you are trying to change have different statuses (e.g., some may be posted, some may be in draft, some may be blocked, etc.).
  Transaction Type: The mass change operation may not be applicable to certain types of documents or statuses.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces rules to prevent changes that could lead to inconsistencies in the financial data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Statuses: Before performing a mass change, verify the statuses of the items you are trying to modify. You can do this by reviewing the items in the relevant transaction or report.
  Filter Items: If you find that the items have different statuses, filter or select only those items that share the same status for the mass change operation.
  Change Status: If appropriate, consider changing the status of the items to be consistent before performing the mass change. However, ensure that this is in line with your business processes and data integrity requirements.
  Use Alternative Methods: If mass change is not feasible due to status differences, consider updating items individually or using a different transaction that allows for the changes you need.
