  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA781 - Document &/& is being processed (line items not posted) ?

    The SAP error message GA781, which states "Document &/& is being processed (line items not posted)," typically occurs when a document is in the process of being posted or has been locked for some reason, preventing further processing of its line items. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).

    Causes:

    1. Document Locking: The document is currently being processed by another user or session, leading to a lock on the document.
    2. Background Jobs: A background job may be processing the document, which can temporarily lock it.
    3. Incomplete Processing: The document may have been partially processed, and the system is waiting for the completion of certain tasks.
    4. User Session: The user may have multiple sessions open, and one session is holding a lock on the document.
    5. Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or inconsistencies in the database that are causing the document to remain locked.

    Solutions:

    1. Wait and Retry: If the document is being processed by another user or job, wait for a few moments and then try to process the document again.
