• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ055 - Document is posted: You can only display ?

  The SAP error message FQ055 ("Document is posted: You can only display") typically occurs when you attempt to make changes to a financial document that has already been posted in the system. This means that the document is in a status that does not allow for modifications, and you can only view it.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document has been fully posted, meaning it has been finalized and is part of the financial records.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to change posted documents.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types in SAP are designed to be non-modifiable once posted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Display Mode: If you only need to view the document, you can proceed to display it in the appropriate transaction (e.g., FB03 for displaying financial documents).
  Reversal: If you need to make changes to the document, you may need to reverse the posted document using the appropriate transaction (e.g., FB08 for reversing a document). After reversal, you can create a new document with the necessary changes.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions you are attempting. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
  Consult with Finance Team: If the document needs to be modified for legitimate reasons, consult with your finance or accounting team to determine the best course of action.
