• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA135 - Linkage with workflow for open FI event & not permitted ?

  The SAP error message WA135: "Linkage with workflow for open FI event & not permitted" typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and workflow integration.
  
  Cause
  This error arises when there is an attempt to create or process a workflow linkage for an FI event that is still "open" or not yet completed/closed, and the system settings or configuration do not permit such linkage. In other words, the workflow is trying to link to an FI event that is in an intermediate or incomplete state, which is not allowed by the system's workflow or event linkage configuration.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Workflow triggering on FI document events where the document is not yet fully posted or finalized.
  Attempting to link a workflow to an FI event that is still in process or has a status that disallows workflow linkage.
  Configuration settings in the workflow or event linkage customizing that restrict linking to only closed or completed FI events.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WA135 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the FI Event:
  
  Verify if the FI document or event is fully posted and not in an intermediate state.
  Ensure that the FI event is completed or closed before the workflow linkage is attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow and Event Linkage Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SWETYPV (Event Linkage) and check the linkage settings for the FI event.
  Confirm whether the event linkage allows linking to open or incomplete FI events.
  Adjust the configuration if business process allows linking to open events, or ensure the workflow triggers only after event completion.
  
  
  
  Adjust Workflow Triggering Logic:
  
  Modify the workflow start conditions or event raising logic to trigger only after the FI event is closed.
  This might involve changing the event raising point in the program or customizing.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes or SAP Support:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to specific SAP versions or patches.
  Search SAP Notes for WA135 or related FI workflow issues for any known fixes or recommendations.
