• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES897 - Curr. account statement already exists -> only copy of last one possible ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES897 indicates that a current account statement already exists in the system, and therefore, only a copy of the last one can be created. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or account management within SAP, particularly in modules related to financial accounting or treasury management.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Statement: The system has detected that an account statement for the specified period already exists. This can happen if a user attempts to generate a new statement for a period for which a statement has already been created.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent the creation of multiple statements for the same period.
  Timing Issues: If the statement generation process is run multiple times in quick succession, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Statements: Verify if a current account statement for the specified period already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report that lists account statements.
  Use Copy Functionality: If you need to create a new statement, consider using the copy functionality to create a copy of the last existing statement instead of generating a new one.
  Adjust Parameters: If you need to generate a new statement, ensure that you are selecting the correct parameters (e.g., date range, account number) that do not overlap with existing statements.
  Consult Configuration: If this issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to account statement generation. They may need to adjust settings to allow for multiple statements or clarify the intended process.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks or ongoing processes that might be preventing the generation of a new statement.
