  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2035 - Fixed procedure: &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The error message VN2035 typically occurs in the context of vendor invoice processing (transaction codes like MIRO, MR8M, or related to invoice verification). The message indicates that there is an issue with the fixed procedure assigned to the vendor or the invoice document.
  
  The fixed procedure is a configuration element in SAP that controls how invoice verification and payment processing are handled for a vendor.
  The message usually means that the system expects a fixed procedure to be assigned or used, but it is either missing, incorrect, or inconsistent.
  The placeholder "&" in the message is replaced by the actual fixed procedure code or related data in the system.
  
  Common causes include:
  
  The vendor master record does not have a fixed procedure assigned in the purchasing data or accounting data.
  The fixed procedure assigned is not valid or not maintained properly in the system.
  The document or transaction is trying to use a fixed procedure that is not configured or is inconsistent with the company code or purchasing organization.
  Customizing settings for fixed procedures are incomplete or missing.
  
  
  Where is Fixed Procedure Used?
  
  Fixed procedures are used in Invoice Verification to determine how the system processes invoices, especially for automatic payment and invoice blocking reasons.
  They are maintained in Customizing under:
  
  Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Maintain Fixed Procedures
  Or under Financial Accounting settings related to vendor master data.
  
  
  
  
  How to Check / Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction XK03 (Display Vendor).
  Check the Purchasing Data and Accounting Data tabs.
  Verify if a fixed procedure is assigned.
  If missing, assign the correct fixed procedure in XK02 (Change Vendor).
  
  
  
  Check Fixed Procedure Configuration:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? IMG ? Materials Management ? Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Maintain Fixed Procedures.
  Verify that the fixed procedure assigned to the vendor is properly configured.
  Check if the fixed procedure is valid for the company code and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Document and Transaction Data:
  
  Review the invoice document to see if the fixed procedure is correctly referenced.
  If the invoice is created via a purchase order, check the PO and vendor master data consistency.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Assign Fixed Procedure:
  
  If missing, assign a valid fixed procedure to the vendor master record.
  If incorrect, correct the fixed procedure assignment.
  If the fixed procedure itself is missing in configuration, create or maintain it in SPRO.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After correction, try to post the invoice again.
  Ensure that the error does not occur.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  Fixed procedures are important for controlling invoice verification and payment processes.
  Incorrect fixed procedure assignment can block invoice posting or payment.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the system expects a fixed procedure due to custom enhancements or validations.
