  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST011 - Document type &1 of reference document &2 is not supported ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_EXT_POST011
    Text: Document type &1 of reference document &2 is not supported


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to post or reference a document in an external system or interface (such as in SAP Treasury, FI-CA, or other integrated modules) and the document type of the referenced document is not recognized or allowed by the system or the specific posting logic.

    In other words, the system expects a certain set of document types for reference documents, but the document type you are trying to use is not included in the allowed list or configuration.


    Typical Scenarios:

    • Posting a payment or clearing document referencing a document type that is not configured in the external posting interface.
    • Integration scenarios where document types must be mapped or allowed explicitly.
    • Treasury or Collections Management where only certain document types are supported for external posting.

    Solution:

    1. Check Document Type Configuration:

      • Verify the document type of the reference document (&1) mentioned in the error.
      • Check the configuration for allowed document types in the relevant customizing path.
      • For example, in Treasury or FI-CA, check the customizing for external posting or document type mapping.
    2. Adjust Configuration:

      • Add the missing document type to the list of supported document types for the external posting or interface.
      • This might be done in IMG under:
        • Financial Accounting (FI) ? Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ? Business Transactions ? Outgoing Payments ? Define Document Types
        • Or in Treasury/Collections Management under external posting settings.
    3. Check Integration Settings:

      • If this is an integration scenario (e.g., FI-CA to FI, or Treasury to FI), ensure that the document type mapping is complete and correct.
      • Sometimes, a custom mapping table or BAdI implementation controls which document types are allowed.
    4. Review the Reference Document:

      • Confirm that the reference document (&2) is valid and posted correctly.
      • Check if the document type is appropriate for the business process.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WZRE_EXT_POST011 for any known issues or patches.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • FB03 (Display Document) to check the reference document.
      • SPRO (IMG) for configuration.
      • FTR_CREATE or FTR_EDIT (Treasury) if related to Treasury documents.
    • Customizing Paths:

      • Treasury: Financial Supply Chain Management ? Treasury and Risk Management ? Transactions ? External Posting
      • FI-CA: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ? Incoming and Outgoing Payments ? Document Types
    • SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Support Portal for notes referencing WZRE_EXT_POST011.
    • BAdIs/User Exits:

      • Sometimes, custom logic restricts document types; check for any user exits or BAdIs implemented in your system.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Document type of the reference document is not supported in the external posting logic.
    Solution Add the document type to the allowed list in customizing or adjust integration mapping.
    Check Document type configuration, reference document validity, integration settings.
    Tools FB03, SPRO, SAP Notes, BAdIs/User Exits.

    If you provide the module or scenario (e.g., Treasury, FI-CA, etc.), I can give more precise customizing paths or steps.
