• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ791 - Total request amount is smaller than the amount & & in the reference doc ?

  The SAP error message FQ791 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the total request amount and the amount specified in a reference document. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, such as when processing invoices, payments, or other financial documents.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Amounts: The total amount being processed (e.g., in a payment request) is less than the amount referenced in another document (e.g., an invoice or a previous payment).
  Partial Payments: If a payment is being made that is less than the total due amount, this error may occur if the system expects the full amount to be settled.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry in the transaction or reference document can lead to mismatched amounts.
  Document Status: The status of the reference document may not allow for partial payments or may require specific conditions to be met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Amounts: Check the amounts in both the request and the reference document. Ensure that the total request amount matches or exceeds the amount in the reference document.
  Adjust Payment Amount: If the intention is to make a partial payment, ensure that the system settings allow for this and that the reference document supports partial payments.
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the reference document is in a status that allows for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  Correct Data Entry: If there was an error in entering the amounts, correct the entries and try processing the transaction again.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations or settings that may affect payment processing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., F-53 for outgoing payments, FB60 for vendor invoices) that may be involved in the process.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction, as restrictions may lead to errors.
