  SAP Error Message: WS078 - No documents processed
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS078 - No documents processed typically occurs during the processing of payment runs or when posting documents via batch input or other automated processes. It indicates that the system did not process any documents during the run or transaction, even though the process was initiated.
  Common causes include:
  
  No open or due items found: The selection criteria for documents to be processed did not match any open or due items.
  Incorrect selection parameters: The parameters or filters used in the payment run or posting program exclude all documents.
  Documents already cleared or processed: The documents intended for processing have already been cleared or posted.
  Authorization or configuration issues: The user or process lacks the necessary authorization or the system configuration prevents processing.
  Technical issues: Errors in the interface or batch input session that prevent document processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS078 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection parameters used in the payment run or posting program.
  Ensure that the date ranges, company codes, vendor/customer accounts, and other filters are correct and include documents that are open and due.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Status:
  
  Confirm that there are open items available for processing.
  Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Items) or FBL5N (Customer Line Items) to check for open items.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Program Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the payment program (e.g., transaction F110) to ensure it is set up correctly.
  Verify parameters such as payment methods, house banks, and payment run dates.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to process the documents.
  
  
  
  Analyze Logs and Batch Input Sessions:
  
  If the process uses batch input or interfaces, check the session logs for errors.
  Use transaction SM35 to review batch input sessions.
