• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FM113 - Vendor & & is processed locally; clearing not possible ?

  The SAP error message FM113 ("Vendor & & is processed locally; clearing not possible") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with vendor accounts in the SAP system. This error indicates that the vendor account in question is set up for local processing, which means that certain clearing operations cannot be performed.
  Cause:
  
  Local Processing: The vendor account is configured for local processing, which restricts certain operations, including clearing transactions.
  Configuration Settings: The vendor master data may have specific settings that prevent clearing, such as being marked as a local vendor or having certain payment terms that do not allow for clearing.
  Open Items: There may be open items in the vendor account that are preventing the clearing process.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction being attempted may not be compatible with the vendor's configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Vendor Master Data: Review the vendor master data to ensure that the vendor is not set up for local processing if it should be cleared. You can do this by navigating to the vendor master record (transaction code XK03 or FK03).
  Review Open Items: Check for any open items in the vendor account that may need to be cleared or resolved before proceeding with the transaction.
  Adjust Configuration: If the vendor should not be processed locally, consider adjusting the configuration settings in the vendor master data or the related financial settings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the vendor's configuration or the implications of changing it, consult with your finance or accounting team for guidance.
  Use Alternative Clearing Methods: If the vendor must remain local, explore alternative methods for clearing transactions that comply with the local processing rules.
