Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_SEPA115 - Payment method can be used for SEPA transfer or SEPA return, not both ?

  The SAP error message FVD_SEPA115 indicates that the payment method you are trying to use is configured to be either for SEPA transfers or SEPA returns, but not both. This is a common issue when dealing with SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) transactions in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the payment method in question has been set up in such a way that it can only handle one type of SEPA transaction at a time. For example, if a payment method is configured for SEPA credit transfers, it cannot also be used for SEPA direct debits or returns.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payment Method Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the payment method in SAP. This can typically be found in the transaction code OBPM1 (for payment methods in country) or FBZP (for payment program configuration).
  Review the settings for the payment method you are using. Ensure that it is set up correctly for the type of transaction you intend to process (either SEPA transfer or SEPA return).
  
  
  
  Create Separate Payment Methods:
  
  If you need to handle both SEPA transfers and SEPA returns, consider creating two separate payment methods. One payment method can be configured for SEPA transfers, and another for SEPA returns.
  Ensure that each payment method is assigned the correct settings and parameters for the respective transaction type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payment Program Settings:
  
  If you are using the payment program (transaction code F110), ensure that the correct payment method is selected for the type of transaction you are processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on configuring SEPA payment methods.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the payment method functions as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SEPA Payment Types: Understand the different types of SEPA payments, including SEPA Credit Transfers (SCT) and SEPA Direct Debits (SDD), as well as their respective return processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to SEPA payment processing.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the payment has the necessary authorizations to use the configured payment methods.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FVD_SEPA115 error and successfully process your SEPA transactions.
