• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN2027 - Processing program for medium & not maintained ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2027 - Processing program for medium & not maintained
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process a payment medium (such as a payment file for bank transfer, check, etc.) in the SAP system, but the processing program for the specified payment medium is not maintained or assigned in the system configuration.
  In other words, the system expects a processing program (a report or executable) to generate or handle the payment medium, but it cannot find any program assigned to the payment medium you are trying to use.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Payment media in SAP are defined with specific parameters, including the processing program that generates the payment file.
  Each payment medium (e.g., payment method or format) must have a processing program assigned in the customizing.
  If this assignment is missing, SAP cannot process the payment medium, resulting in the VN2027 error.
  
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  During payment run processing (transaction F110 or similar).
  When generating payment media files.
  When printing or exporting payment documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Payment Medium Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing path:
  SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Payable -> Automatic Payment -> Payment Media -> Define Payment Medium Formats
  
  Or directly via transaction OBPM1 (Define Payment Medium Formats).
  
  
  
  Assign the Processing Program:
  
  Find the payment medium format you are using.
  Check the field for the Processing Program (also called "Processing Program for Medium").
  If it is empty or incorrect, assign the correct processing program.
  
  
  
  Verify the Payment Method Configuration:
  
  Go to:
  SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Payable -> Automatic Payment -> Payment Methods/Bank Selection for Company Code
  
  Check the payment method and ensure the payment medium format is correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check the Program Availability:
  
  Ensure the processing program assigned actually exists in the system and is active.
  The program is usually an SAP standard report or a custom program developed for payment medium generation.
  
  
  
  Test the Payment Medium Generation:
  
  After assigning the correct processing program, run the payment run again and generate the payment medium.
  The error should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The processing program is typically a report program that formats the payment data into a file or printout according to bank or company requirements.
  Common standard SAP programs include:
  
  RFFOUS_C for SEPA payments
  RFFOUS_J for other payment formats
  
  
  Custom payment media require custom programs, which must be assigned here.
  If you are unsure which program to assign, consult your FI/Payment consultant or check SAP documentation for your payment format.
