• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMUP014 - Payment selection was started in the background (see job overview) ?

  The SAP error message FMUP014 indicates that a payment selection process was initiated in the background, and it suggests checking the job overview for more details. This message typically arises in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module when processing payment selections.
  Cause:
  
  Background Job Initiation: The payment selection process was started as a background job rather than in the foreground. This can happen if the user has chosen to run the payment selection in the background or if the system is configured to do so automatically.
  Job Scheduling: The job may be scheduled to run at a specific time or triggered by certain conditions, which can lead to this message if the user attempts to access the payment selection process while it is still running in the background.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the SAP system that dictate how payment selections are processed, including whether they are run in the foreground or background.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Overview: Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of the background job. You can filter by user, job name, or date to find the relevant job.
  Wait for Completion: If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete before you can proceed with any further actions related to payment selection.
  Review Job Logs: If the job has completed, review the job logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues with the payment selection process.
  Re-run in Foreground: If necessary, you can re-run the payment selection process in the foreground after ensuring that the background job has completed or if it has failed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific configurations or settings that may affect how payment selections are processed.
