  The SAP error message T1235 typically indicates that there is an issue with making changes to the nominal amount of a financial document after a certain point in the process. This error often arises in the context of financial postings, such as invoices or journal entries, where the nominal amount (the monetary value) is being modified after it has been finalized or posted.
  Cause:
  The error message T1235 is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to change the nominal amount of a document after it has been posted or after a certain status has been reached in the workflow.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to modify. If it has already been posted, you may need to reverse the posting or create a new document to reflect the changes.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: If you need to adjust the nominal amount, ensure you are using the correct transaction code that allows for such changes. For example, if you need to make adjustments to an invoice, you might need to use a specific transaction for credit memos or adjustments.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the nominal amount, consult with your finance or accounting team. They can provide guidance on the appropriate procedures to follow.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: In some cases, the error may be related to configuration settings in the SAP system. If you have the necessary permissions, review the settings related to document posting and changes to ensure they align with your organization's policies.
