  SAP Error Message: WTADDI441
  Text: Invoicing only with additionals
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module during the invoicing process. It indicates that the system is trying to create an invoice document, but the invoice contains only additional items (such as surcharges, discounts, or other additional charges) without any main billing items (like principal amounts or base charges).
  In other words, the invoice line items do not include any primary billing items, only additional items. SAP standard logic requires that an invoice must have at least one main item to be valid.
  
  Explanation
  
  Main items: These are the primary billing items representing the core service or product charges.
  Additional items: These are supplementary charges or credits, such as taxes, surcharges, discounts, or fees.
  
  The system expects at least one main item to generate a valid invoice. If only additional items are present, the system raises this error to prevent creating an invoice that does not represent a valid billing document.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WTADDI441 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Billing Document or Contract Account Items:
  
  Verify that the billing document or contract account items include at least one main item.
  If the main item is missing, investigate why it was not created or included.
  
  
  
  Review the Billing or Invoicing Logic:
  
  Check the configuration or custom logic that determines which items are included in the invoice.
  Ensure that the logic does not exclude main items or only select additional items.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Billing Document:
  
  If the main item was accidentally deleted or not posted, recreate or include it.
  If the invoice is supposed to be only additional items (which is unusual), consider adjusting the business process or SAP configuration to allow this scenario (though this is generally not recommended).
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code in user exits or BAdIs may filter out main items or incorrectly process items.
  Review and debug any custom logic related to invoicing.
