  Error Message
  WEC_PAYMENT003: No billing items found for payment
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a payment but cannot find any billing items (invoices or receivables) linked to the payment document or the customer/vendor account. Essentially, the payment transaction references no open items that can be cleared or settled.
  Common causes include:
  
  The payment document is created without referencing any open billing items.
  The billing items (invoices) have already been fully cleared or paid.
  The selection criteria for billing items during payment processing are too restrictive or incorrect.
  The customer/vendor account has no open items at the time of payment.
  Data inconsistencies or missing links between payment and billing documents.
  Incorrect configuration or master data issues in the payment program or clearing process.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Items:
  
  Verify that the customer/vendor account has open billing items (invoices) that are due for payment.
  Use transaction codes like FBL5N (Customer Line Items) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Items) to check open items.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Document:
  
  Ensure the payment document references the correct customer/vendor and that the payment amount corresponds to open items.
  Check if the payment document is created correctly and linked to open items.
  
  
  
  Payment Program Settings:
  
  If using automatic payment program (transaction F110), verify the selection parameters and ensure they are not excluding relevant billing items.
  Check the payment method and company code settings.
  
  
  
  Reconcile Clearing:
  
  Check if the billing items have already been cleared or partially cleared.
  If partial payments exist, ensure the remaining open amount is sufficient.
  
  
  
  Master Data Verification:
  
  Confirm that customer/vendor master data is correctly maintained, especially payment terms and reconciliation accounts.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  Use SAP application logs (SLG1) or debug the payment program to identify where the system fails to find billing items.
  
  
  
  Recreate Payment Document:
  
  If the payment document is incorrect or incomplete, consider reversing and recreating the payment with correct references.
