  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message W_CB204:
  
  SAP Message: W_CB204
  Text: Document &1 item &2 was processed
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to process a document item that has already been processed in the system. For example, in the context of cash management, bank statement processing, or clearing transactions, the system detects that the document item you are trying to post or clear has already been handled previously.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the document number and the item number respectively.
  The system issues this warning to prevent duplicate processing of the same document item, which could lead to inconsistencies in financial data.
  This message is typically encountered during bank statement processing (e.g., in transaction FF67, FF_5, or FEBAN) or during clearing operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Document Status:
  
  Check the document number and item mentioned in the message.
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N/FBL3N/FBL5N (line item display) to verify if the document item has already been posted or cleared.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Processing:
  
  If the document item is already processed, do not attempt to post or clear it again.
  If you are processing bank statements, ensure that the statement lines are not duplicated or re-imported.
  
  
  
  Check Bank Statement Data:
  
  If this occurs during electronic bank statement processing, verify the bank statement file for duplicates.
  Use transaction FF67 or FEBAN to review and manage bank statement items.
  
  
  
  Adjust Processing Logic (if applicable):
  
  If you have custom programs or interfaces posting documents, ensure they check for existing processed items before posting.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Documentation:
  
  Review application logs or change documents to understand why the item is being processed again.

  Ensure proper configuration of bank statement processing rules and duplicate check settings.
