• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_MASS018 - All documents cancelled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS_MASS018: All documents cancelled
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS_MASS018 - All documents cancelled typically occurs during a mass processing or posting run (for example, mass payment runs, mass document posting, or mass clearing) when all the documents selected for processing have been cancelled or reversed. This means that none of the documents in the batch could be processed because they are already cancelled or invalid for the intended operation.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  The documents have been fully cleared or reversed before the mass run.  
  The documents are blocked or flagged for deletion.  
  The selection criteria picked documents that are no longer valid for processing.  
  The documents are in a status that prevents further posting or processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the documents selected for processing. Ensure that they are not cancelled, reversed, or blocked.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Adjust the selection criteria to exclude cancelled or reversed documents. Make sure only valid, open documents are selected.
  
  
  Check Document Locks or Blocks:
  
  Sometimes documents are locked or blocked for posting. Remove any blocks if appropriate.
  
  
  Run a Test with a Smaller Dataset:
  
  Try processing a smaller subset of documents to isolate problematic entries.

  Custom code or user exits might be cancelling documents during processing. Review any custom logic.
