• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR0604 - Only mandate type 3 is allowed if a finance project is specified ?

  The SAP error message FTR0604, which states "Only mandate type 3 is allowed if a finance project is specified," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions involving mandates in the SAP system, particularly in the area of Treasury and Risk Management.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you are trying to create or process a mandate (which is a legal authorization for a financial transaction) in the SAP system, and the system detects that:
  
  A finance project has been specified in the transaction.
  The mandate type being used is not compatible with the specified finance project.
  
  In SAP, mandate types are categorized, and mandate type 3 is specifically designed for use with finance projects. If a different mandate type is used while a finance project is specified, the system will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Mandate Type: Ensure that you are using mandate type 3 when a finance project is specified. If you are using a different mandate type, change it to type 3.
  
  
  Review Finance Project Specification: If the finance project is not necessary for your transaction, consider removing it from the transaction to avoid the error. 
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or configuration settings related to mandates and finance projects to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  System Configuration: If you believe that the configuration should allow for other mandate types with finance projects, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the configuration settings in the system.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
