  SAP Error Message:
  WS760 - Documents with settl. partner &1 cannot be processed by this application
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to process a document in an SAP application that does not support documents with a settlement partner assigned. The settlement partner is typically used in intercompany or special business transactions where the document involves a partner company or entity for settlement purposes.
  In particular, the error indicates that the document you are trying to process has a settlement partner assigned (field usually BSID-BUZID or similar), but the current application or transaction does not allow processing such documents.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to clear or post documents in a transaction that does not handle settlement partner documents.
  Using a transaction or program that expects documents without settlement partner information.
  Documents created with intercompany settlement or special business partner assignments.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Document's Settlement Partner:
  
  Review the document to confirm if a settlement partner is assigned.
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N/FBL5N (Line Item Display) to check the partner details.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  Use a transaction or application that supports documents with settlement partners.
  For example, if you are trying to clear documents, use the clearing transaction that supports settlement partner documents (e.g., F-44 for vendor clearing with settlement partner).
  
  
  
  Remove or Adjust the Settlement Partner:
  
  If the settlement partner is not required, consider removing it from the document (if business process allows).
  This might require reversing and reposting the document without the settlement partner.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration in the system related to settlement partner usage.
  Check if the document type or business transaction is correctly set up to handle settlement partners.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WS760 for any patches or known issues.
  Sometimes, SAP provides specific corrections or workarounds.
