• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI079 - Field &1 of payment type &2 must be set ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_FI079: Field &1 of payment type &2 must be set
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of payment documents (such as incoming or outgoing payments) in SAP Financial Accounting (FI), specifically when handling payment types in the system.
  
  The message indicates that a mandatory field (represented by &1) related to a specific payment type (represented by &2) has not been filled in.
  Payment types in SAP define how payments are processed and which fields are required.
  For example, if the payment type requires a bank account, payment method, or reference number, and this field is missing or empty, the system throws this error.
  This often happens during manual payment entry, automatic payment runs, or when posting documents that involve payment types with mandatory fields.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Missing bank details for a payment type that requires them.
  Missing payment reference or document number.
  Missing payment method or house bank information.
  Customizing of payment types in transaction FBZP (Automatic Payment Transactions) or related configuration is incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the missing field and payment type:
  
  The error message will show the field name (&1) and the payment type (&2).
  For example, it might say: "Field House Bank of payment type T01 must be set."
  
  
  
  Check the payment document or transaction:
  
  Go to the payment document or transaction where the error occurred.
  Verify that all mandatory fields for the payment type are filled in.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction FBZP to check the configuration of the payment type.
  Navigate to the relevant payment method and check which fields are mandatory.
  Ensure that the payment type is correctly configured with all required fields.
  
  
  
  Fill in the missing field:
  
  Enter the missing data in the payment document.
  For example, if the house bank is missing, select the appropriate house bank.
  
  
  
  If the field is not applicable:
  
  Review if the payment type is correctly assigned.
  Adjust the payment type or customize the payment method to reflect the actual business process.
  
  
  
  Test the payment posting again:
  
  After correcting the missing field, try to post or process the payment again.
