• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS307 - Document & is a supplier billing document ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS307 - Document & is a supplier billing document
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS307 occurs when you try to perform an operation on a document that is identified as a supplier billing document (i.e., an invoice or credit memo from a vendor) in a context where such a document is not allowed or expected.
  For example, this error often appears when you attempt to post or process a document in a workflow or transaction that expects a customer document or a different document type, but the system finds that the referenced document is a supplier billing document.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks the document type or the document category.
  If the document is flagged as a supplier billing document (vendor invoice/credit memo), but the process expects a customer document or a different document type, the system throws this error.
  This is a safeguard to prevent incorrect processing of documents.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Trying to create a payment or clearing document for a supplier billing document in a customer context.
  Attempting to reference a supplier billing document in a customer invoice or sales document.
  Workflow or custom program logic that incorrectly references supplier billing documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Type:
  
  Verify the document number referenced in the error message.
  Use transaction FB03 to display the document and check its type and whether it is a supplier billing document.
  
  
  
  Correct the Document Reference:
  
  Ensure that the document you are working with is the correct one for the process.
  If you intended to process a customer document, make sure you are not referencing a supplier billing document.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Process or Workflow:
  
  If this error occurs in a workflow or custom program, review the logic to ensure it correctly distinguishes between supplier and customer documents.
  Modify the logic to handle supplier billing documents appropriately or prevent their use where not allowed.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  Check the document type configuration in SPRO under Financial Accounting ? Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ? Document ? Document Types.
  Confirm that document types are correctly assigned and used.
