SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WS - Supplier Billing Document

• Message number: 177

• Message text: Status &2 of document &1 does not allow updating

What causes this issue?

An update in the <GL:Logistics_Information_System>Logistics
Information System</> is only possible for settlement management
documents, such as supplier billing documents and settlement documents
<(>,<)> once the document has been released to Financial Accounting.
This also applies to the updating of business volume as part of
<DS:GLOS.3526C095AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>subsequent settlement</>.
However, accounting status &V2& (&V3&) of document &V1& indicates that:
The document has not been released to Financial Accounting.
A release to Financial Accounting is not defined for the document
category.
The document cannot be released to Financial Accounting because of an
incorrect setting.

System Response

The update data cannot be created and may be missing for follow-on
functions. Depending on the status of the document, updating may not be
necessary (e.g. status closed because the document is reversed).

How to fix this error?

Please look into this matter. If necessary, release document &V1& to
Financial Accounting or correct any errors.
If the document is not supposed to be released to Financial Accounting,
the update is carried out from another document (list or individual
document), to avoid double updating.
