  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_CAT116 Payment type &1: Flag "Full organizational data" should be set
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to use a payment type in SAP (usually in the context of payment processing, such as in SAP Collections and Dispute Management or SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable) that requires the organizational data to be fully maintained, but the flag "Full organizational data" is not set for that payment type.
  In other words, the system expects that the payment type configuration includes complete organizational data (such as company code, business area, sales organization, etc.), but this requirement is not fulfilled because the flag is not activated.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Payment Type: Defines how payments are processed (e.g., check, bank transfer, direct debit).
  Full Organizational Data Flag: A setting in the payment type configuration that indicates whether the payment type requires full organizational data to be maintained.
  If this flag is not set, but the system expects full organizational data for the payment type, the error is triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Payment Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction for payment types. This is usually found under:
  SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Incoming Payments -> Payment Methods/Payment Types
  
  Or in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA):
  SPRO -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Payment Processing -> Payment Types
  
  
  
  
  Set the Flag "Full organizational data":
  
  Find the payment type mentioned in the error message (replace &1 with the actual payment type code).
  Edit the payment type and set the checkbox or flag labeled "Full organizational data" or similar.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Data:
  
  Ensure that the organizational data (company code, business area, etc.) is properly maintained and consistent with the payment type requirements.
  
  
  
  Test the Payment Processing Again:
  
  After setting the flag, retry the payment processing or the transaction that caused the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in scenarios where payment types are customized or newly created, and the organizational data requirements are not fully configured.
  The flag ensures that the payment type is only used when all necessary organizational data is available, which is important for correct posting and reporting.
  If you are unsure about the impact of setting this flag, consult your FI-CA or FI-AR consultant or SAP documentation related to payment types.
