  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI081 - You cannot set field &1 of billing document type &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRMA_FI081: You cannot set field &1 of billing document type &2


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to set or modify a specific field (&1) in a billing document type (&2) that is not allowed or not supported for that billing document type. In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), billing document types have predefined settings and restrictions on which fields can be changed or set during billing document processing.

    Common scenarios causing this error include:

    • Attempting to manually change a field in the billing document header or item that is controlled by the system or restricted by the billing document type.
    • Customizing or user-exit code tries to update a field that is locked or not relevant for the billing document type.
    • Incorrect configuration or master data leading to attempts to set fields that are not applicable.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Billing Document Type Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Billing ? Billing Documents ? Define Billing Types.
      • Verify the settings for the billing document type &2.
      • Check which fields are allowed to be set or changed for this billing document type.
    2. Review the Field &1:

      • Identify what field &1 refers to (e.g., billing date, payment terms, reference document, etc.).
      • Confirm if this field is supposed to be modifiable for the billing document type &2.
    3. Adjust Custom Code or User-Exits:

      • If you have custom enhancements (user-exits, BADIs, or enhancements) that try to set this field, review and modify the code to avoid setting this field for the billing document type &2.
      • Use debugging or logs to find where the field is being set.
    4. Check Master Data and Document Flow:

      • Sometimes, incorrect reference documents or master data can cause the system to attempt setting invalid fields.
      • Verify the sales order, delivery, and billing document data consistency.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to message WRMA_FI081 for any known issues or patches.
