• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FP114 - Document is an accounting document (not a preliminary one) ?

  The SAP error message FP114 ("Document is an accounting document (not a preliminary one)") typically occurs in the context of financial document processing, particularly when dealing with documents in the SAP Financial Accounting (FI) module or the Funds Management (FM) module. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform an operation on a document that has already been posted as a final accounting document, rather than a preliminary or draft document.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document you are trying to modify or reverse is already posted and has a status of "accounting document." This means it cannot be changed or reversed in the same way that a preliminary document can.
  Incorrect Transaction: You may be using a transaction code or function that is intended for preliminary documents, but the document in question is already finalized.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform certain actions on finalized documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. If it is indeed an accounting document, you will need to follow the appropriate procedures for handling finalized documents.
  Use Correct Transaction: If you need to reverse or adjust the document, use the appropriate transaction code for reversing accounting documents (e.g., FB08 for reversing a financial document).
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your finance team or SAP support team to understand the correct process for handling the document.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the action you are attempting. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required authorizations.
