• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ142 - Payment with & items, payment method & allows a maximum of & items ?

  The SAP error message FZ142 indicates that a payment transaction is attempting to process more items than allowed by the specified payment method. This typically occurs during the payment run or when processing payments in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the number of items (invoices, bills, etc.) included in a payment exceeds the maximum limit set for the payment method being used. Each payment method in SAP can have specific configurations that define how many items can be processed in a single payment transaction.
  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 usually be found in the transaction code OBVCU (for payment method configuration).
  Look for the parameter that defines the maximum number of items allowed for the payment method in question. This is often referred to as "Maximum Number of Items."
  
  
  
  Adjust the Maximum Limit:
  
  If the current limit is too low for your business needs, consider increasing the maximum number of items allowed for that payment method. Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Split the Payment Run:
  
  If adjusting the configuration is not feasible or if you prefer not to change the system settings, you can split the payment run into smaller batches that comply with the maximum item limit.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Items:
  
  Ensure that the payment items being processed are necessary and valid. Sometimes, cleaning up unnecessary or duplicate items can help reduce the total count.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your version of SAP and the payment method in use.

  User Roles:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to payment method configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, conduct a test payment run to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the FZ142 error and successfully process your payments in SAP.
