• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ518 - Payment request: no payment, original document will be paid ?

  The SAP error message FZ518 ("Payment request: no payment, original document will be paid") typically occurs in the context of payment processing within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with payment requests and invoices. This message indicates that the system has determined that there is no payment to be made for the payment request, and instead, the original document (such as an invoice) will be processed for payment.
  Cause:
  
  Payment Request Configuration: The payment request may not have been configured correctly, or the payment method may not be set up to allow for payments.
  Payment Block: The original document (invoice) may have a payment block set, preventing it from being paid through the payment request.
  Payment Amount: The payment request amount may be zero or less than the amount due on the original document.
  Clearing Issues: There may be issues with clearing the original document, such as it already being cleared or paid.
  Document Status: The status of the original document may not allow for payment processing (e.g., it may be in a status that does not permit payment).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payment Request Configuration: Review the configuration of the payment request to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the payment method is valid.
  Review Payment Blocks: Check the original document for any payment blocks that may be preventing payment. If necessary, remove the payment block.
  Verify Payment Amount: Ensure that the payment request amount is correct and matches the amount due on the original document.
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the original document to ensure it is eligible for payment. If it has already been paid or cleared, you may need to adjust your payment processing accordingly.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or status of documents, consult with your finance or accounting team for further insights.
