• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS376 - No documents selected for any payee ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS376 - No documents selected for any payee
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during payment run processing in SAP (usually in the Payment Program, transaction F110) when the system does not find any open items (invoices, credit memos, etc.) to be paid for the specified payees/vendors/customers. Essentially, the payment program has been executed, but no documents meet the selection criteria for payment.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  No open items exist for the selected payees within the specified parameters (company code, payment method, payment run date, etc.).  
  The selection criteria (such as payment method, vendor/customer, due date, or payment block) exclude all open items.  
  All open items are blocked for payment or already cleared.  
  Incorrect or too restrictive parameters in the payment run configuration or proposal selection.  
  The payment proposal was not generated or was deleted before payment execution.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Open Items:  
  
  Verify that there are open items for the payees/vendors/customers you intend to pay. Use transaction FBL1N (Vendor Line Items) or FBL5N (Customer Line Items) to check for open items.  
  Confirm that the open items are due for payment (check due dates).
  
  
  
  Review Payment Run Parameters:  
  
  Check the parameters entered in the payment run (F110), such as company code, payment method, payment block, and payment run date.  
  Ensure that the selection criteria are not too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Check Payment Blocks:  
  
  Verify if any open items are blocked for payment. Remove payment blocks if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Generate Payment Proposal:  
  
  Run the payment proposal step in F110 before executing the payment run.  
  Review the proposal log to see which documents are selected or excluded and why.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:  
  
  If no documents are selected, try broadening the selection criteria (e.g., extend due date range, include more vendors).
  
  
  
  Check Vendor/Customer Master Data:  
  
  Ensure that the payment method and bank details are correctly maintained in the vendor/customer master records.
