  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO_BAPI_PO705 indicates that an outgoing payment order cannot be rejected because it is in a specific status that does not allow for rejection. This error typically arises in the context of payment processing within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with payment orders that have already been processed or are in a state that prevents further modifications.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when you attempt to reject a payment order that is in a status that does not permit rejection. Common statuses that might lead to this error include:
  
  The payment order has already been executed or cleared.
  The payment order is in a status that is considered final (e.g., completed, posted).
  The payment order is locked or has dependencies that prevent it from being rejected.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Payment Order: 
  
  Review the status of the payment order in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., F110 for automatic payment transactions) and checking the status of the payment order.
  
  
  
  Determine if Rejection is Possible:
  
  If the payment order is in a status that does not allow rejection, you may need to take alternative actions, such as reversing the payment or adjusting the related documents.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  If you need to reverse a payment, ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., FB08 for reversing a document) instead of trying to reject the payment order directly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling payment orders and their statuses. This may provide specific instructions on how to manage different statuses.
