• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >R109 - All payers/payees must be either active or inactive for FI-CA ?

  The SAP error message R109 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the status of payers and payees in the Financial Accounting Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module. Specifically, it means that not all payers or payees are either marked as active or inactive, which is a requirement for processing transactions in FI-CA.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Mixed Status: Some payers or payees are set to active while others are set to inactive. This inconsistency prevents the system from processing transactions correctly.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation or modification of payer/payee master data can lead to this issue.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the FI-CA module that are not aligned with the business requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R109 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Payer/Payee Status:
  
  Go to the master data of the payers and payees involved in the transaction.
  Verify their status (active or inactive) in the system.
  
  
  
  Update Status:
  
  If you find that some payers or payees are active while others are inactive, update their status to ensure consistency. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction code (e.g., FD02 for changing customer master data).
  Changing the status of the payers/payees to either all active or all inactive.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the FI-CA module to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP FI-CA configuration team.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run a data consistency check to identify any other inconsistencies in the master data that may not be immediately visible.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FD01 (Create Customer), FD02 (Change Customer), and FD03 (Display Customer) for managing payer/payee master data.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on managing payer/payee statuses and the implications of active/inactive settings.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP FI-CA expert for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that all payers and payees have a consistent status, you should be able to resolve the R109 error and proceed with your transactions in the FI-CA module.
