• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDFI_QRIBAN105 - Creditor reference can be used with IBAN, not with QR-IBAN ?

  The SAP error message IDFI_QRIBAN105 indicates that there is an issue with the use of a creditor reference in conjunction with a QR-IBAN (Quick Response IBAN). This error typically arises in the context of payment processing, particularly in Switzerland, where QR-IBANs are used for payment transactions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the creditor reference (often referred to as a "reference number" or "payment reference") is not compatible with QR-IBANs. QR-IBANs are designed to be used with specific payment formats that do not support the inclusion of a creditor reference. In contrast, traditional IBANs can accommodate creditor references.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payment Format: Ensure that you are using the correct payment format that is compatible with QR-IBANs. QR-IBANs typically require a specific format for payment processing, which may not include a creditor reference.
  
  
  Remove Creditor Reference: If you are processing a payment using a QR-IBAN, remove any creditor reference from the payment details. This should allow the transaction to proceed without triggering the error.
  
  
  Use Traditional IBAN: If a creditor reference is necessary for your transaction, consider using a traditional IBAN instead of a QR-IBAN, as traditional IBANs can accommodate creditor references.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines related to payment processing with QR-IBANs to ensure compliance with the required formats and rules.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with a financial expert familiar with SAP payment processing.
