  SAP Error Message:
  WS_EA013 Supplier settlement list creation not valid for doc. &1 with status '&2'
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create a supplier settlement list (e.g., a payment or clearing document) for a document that is not in a valid status for settlement. The system checks the status of the referenced document (such as an invoice or credit memo) before allowing the settlement list creation. If the document is already cleared, blocked, or in any other status that prevents settlement, this error is triggered.
  
  &1 = Document number (e.g., invoice or credit memo number)
  &2 = Status of the document (e.g., cleared, blocked, parked)
  
  Common causes include:
  
  The document has already been fully or partially cleared.
  The document is blocked for payment.
  The document is parked or not yet posted.
  The document is in a status that does not allow settlement (e.g., reversed).
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  During supplier settlement list creation (transaction codes like F-44, F-53, or automatic payment runs).
  When trying to clear or settle vendor open items.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the document status:
  
  Use transaction FB03 to display the document &1.
  Check if the document is cleared, blocked, parked, or reversed.
  
  
  
  If the document is cleared:
  
  You cannot create a settlement list for a cleared document.
  Check if partial clearing is possible or if you need to reverse the clearing first.
  
  
  
  If the document is blocked:
  
  Remove the payment block if appropriate.
  Use transaction FB02 or vendor master data to remove the block.
  
  
  
  If the document is parked or not posted:
  
  Post the document first before settlement.
  
  
  
  If the document is reversed:
  
  You cannot settle reversed documents; check for the correct document.
  
  
  
  Check open items:
  
  Use FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to verify open items for the vendor.
  Only open items can be settled.
  
  
  
  If the document status is unclear:
  
  Check the document flow or related postings.
  Consult with FI or MM team if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is a standard validation to prevent incorrect clearing or payment processing.
  Always ensure that the document you want to settle is open and valid for payment.
  If you are running an automatic payment program (transaction F110), check the payment proposal and logs for blocked or invalid documents.
  Sometimes, customizing settings or user exits might influence document status checks.
