WB2B156 - Details

• The SAP error message WB2B156, which states "The transaction in this document is not yet closed," typically occurs in the context of SAP's logistics and financial modules, particularly when dealing with documents related to billing, sales orders, or deliveries. This error indicates that the system is trying to process a document that has not been fully completed or closed, which can prevent further actions from being taken on that document.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Document Processing: The document (e.g., sales order, delivery, or billing document) may still be in an open status, meaning that there are pending items or processes that need to be completed.
  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions associated with the document that have not been finalized, such as open invoices or pending goods movements.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that require certain conditions to be met before a document can be considered closed.
