This message indicates that the payment document is being split into multiple documents due to certain conditions not being met. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Payment Document Splitting: The payment document is being split because the system has determined that the payment advice note cannot be processed as a single document. This can happen due to:
  
  Different payment methods being used for different line items.
  Different currencies for line items.
  Different payment terms or due dates.
  Different vendors or accounts being involved in the payment.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system regarding payment processing and document splitting may not be aligned with the requirements of the transaction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payment Document: Check the payment document for any discrepancies among the line items. Ensure that all line items have the same payment method, currency, and other relevant attributes.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the splitting behavior is not desired, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for payment processing (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Accounts Payable > Payment Transactions > Configure Payment Methods for Company Code.
  Review the settings for the payment method being used and ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Use Payment Run Options: When executing the payment run, check the options available. You may have the option to group payments or adjust settings that could prevent splitting.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on handling payment advice notes and document splitting.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct a test payment run to ensure that the issue is resolved and that payments are processed as expected.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to FV666 or payment processing.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect payment processing.
