• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FV672 - Partial payment advice note would have negative amount - no split ?

  The SAP error message FV672, which states "Partial payment advice note would have negative amount - no split," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with payment advice notes in accounts payable or receivable. This error indicates that the system is attempting to create a partial payment that would result in a negative amount, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Amount Calculation: The error usually arises when the system calculates that a partial payment would lead to a negative balance for the invoice or payment advice note. This can happen if:
  
  The payment amount exceeds the invoice amount.
  There are already adjustments or previous payments that have been applied to the invoice, leading to a situation where the remaining amount to be paid is less than what is being attempted.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Payment Amount: The user may have entered an incorrect payment amount that does not align with the outstanding balance of the invoice.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not allowing for the proper handling of partial payments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payment Amount: Check the payment amount being processed. Ensure that it does not exceed the outstanding balance of the invoice. Adjust the payment amount accordingly.
  
  
  Check Invoice Status: Verify the status of the invoice to ensure that it is open and has not been fully paid or adjusted. If the invoice has already been settled, you will need to adjust your payment accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Previous Payments: If there are previous payments or adjustments that have been made to the invoice, review those entries to ensure they are correct and that they do not lead to a negative balance.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to payment processing and partial payments. There may be specific configurations that need to be adjusted to allow for the desired payment processing.
  
  
  Use Full Payment: If a partial payment is not necessary, consider processing a full payment for the invoice to avoid the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as F-53 (Post Outgoing Payments) or F-28 (Post Incoming Payments) to understand where the error is occurring.

  User Documentation: Review SAP user documentation or training materials related to payment processing to ensure compliance with best practices.
