• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR109 - Posting has not yet been completed. ?

  The SAP error message VR109: Posting has not yet been completed typically occurs in the context of Vendor Invoice Verification (Logistics Invoice Verification - LIV) or Material Management (MM) Invoice Posting processes.
  
  Cause:
  
  The error VR109 indicates that the posting of the invoice document has not been completed successfully.
  This usually happens when the system tries to perform a subsequent step (e.g., clearing, payment, or document display) but the invoice document is still in an incomplete or intermediate state.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  The invoice document is still locked or in the process of being posted.
  The posting run was interrupted or did not finish properly.
  There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the document status.
  The invoice document is still in a parked or saved state but not yet posted.
  Background job or batch input session processing the posting has not completed.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the invoice document in transaction MRBR (Release Blocked Invoices) or MIRO (Enter Incoming Invoice).
  Ensure the invoice is fully posted and not parked or blocked.
  
  
  
  Complete or Restart Posting:
  
  If the posting was interrupted, try to complete the posting process again.
  If using batch input or background jobs, check the job logs (SM37) and ensure the job completed successfully.
  If the document is locked, wait for the lock to be released or manually unlock it if appropriate (transaction SM12).
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check if the invoice document is locked by another user or process.
  If locked and no process is running, release the lock carefully.
  
  
  
  Repost or Cancel and Recreate:
  
  If the document is in an inconsistent state, you may need to cancel the invoice document and repost it.
  Use transaction MR8M to cancel the invoice if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Errors:
