• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFG153 - Only open items with same PMS can be cleared with this transaction ?

  The SAP error message FMFG153 indicates that you are trying to clear open items in the Funds Management (FM) module, but the items you are attempting to clear do not share the same "PMS" (which stands for "PMS" or "PMS Account"). This restriction is in place to ensure that only items that are related and can be logically cleared together are processed in a single transaction.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  There may be a configuration issue or misunderstanding of how the PMS accounts are set up in your system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check PMS Accounts: Verify the PMS accounts associated with the open items you are trying to clear. Ensure that they are the same for all items.
  
  
  Separate Transactions: If the items belong to different PMS accounts, you will need to clear them in separate transactions. Group the items by their PMS accounts and process each group individually.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the items should be able to be cleared together, review the configuration settings in the Funds Management module to ensure that the PMS accounts are set up correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on how PMS accounts work and the rules governing the clearing of open items.
