• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B_SEPA006 - Item &1 is not SEPA-relevant. Mandate reference is deleted ?

  The SAP error message WB2B_SEPA006 indicates that an item in a payment run is not relevant for SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) processing, and as a result, the mandate reference associated with that item has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of electronic payments where SEPA mandates are required for direct debits or credit transfers.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-SEPA Relevant Item: The item in question may not meet the criteria for SEPA processing. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The payment method used is not configured for SEPA.
  The vendor or customer master data does not have a valid SEPA mandate.
  The payment amount or currency is not compatible with SEPA requirements.
  The item is marked for a different payment method that does not support SEPA.
  
  
  
  Mandate Issues: The mandate reference may have been deleted because:
  
  The mandate has expired or is no longer valid.
  The mandate was not properly set up in the system.
  The item was processed in a way that does not require a mandate.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Payment Method Configuration: Ensure that the payment method used for the transaction is configured for SEPA processing. This can be done in the SAP configuration settings.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Verify that the vendor or customer master data includes a valid SEPA mandate. You can check this in the relevant master data transaction (e.g., FK02 for vendors, FD02 for customers).
  
  
  Validate Mandate Status: Ensure that the mandate is active and has not expired. If necessary, create a new mandate or update the existing one.
  
  
  Check Item Details: Review the specific item that triggered the error. Ensure that it meets all SEPA requirements, including the correct currency and payment amount.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on SEPA configuration and requirements.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test payment run to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SEPA Mandates: Understand the concept of SEPA mandates, which are agreements between a debtor and a creditor that authorize the creditor to collect payments from the debtor's bank account.
  SAP Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings for SEPA in SAP, including transaction codes like OBPM1 (for payment methods) and OBPM2 (for payment method in company code).
  Error Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed information about the error and any related issues.
