• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8_2195 - Purchasing document &1 is a parked document ?

  The SAP error message M8_2195 indicates that the purchasing document you are trying to process is a parked document. Parked documents in SAP are those that have been saved but not yet posted. This means that the document is not yet complete and cannot be processed further until it is either posted or deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Parked Document: The purchasing document (like a purchase order) has been saved in a parked state, which means it is pending approval or further action.
  Incomplete Data: The document may be missing required information or approvals that are necessary for it to be posted.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to post or approve the parked document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Document: Check the parked document to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly. You can do this by navigating to the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., ME23N for purchase orders).
  Post the Document: If you have the necessary permissions, you can post the parked document. This is typically done through the transaction code for posting (e.g., ME29N for purchase orders).
  Approval Process: If the document is parked due to an approval process, ensure that it is routed to the appropriate approver and that they take action to approve it.
  Check User Roles: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to post or approve documents. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
