Dispute case &1 (&2 &3) does not have any open items being disputed.

Message type: E = Error

Message class: FDM_AR - Dispute Management (Process Integration)

Message number: 266

Message text: Dispute case &1 (&2 &3) does not have any open items being disputed.



What causes this issue?

A credit is transferred from an external application (such as CRM) to
FI. Open items in dispute case &V1& should be assigned to this credit.
However, in FI no disputed items were found in table FDM_DCOBJ with GUID
&V2&, consequently the amount being disputed in dispute case &V1& is
zero. The transfer of the credit to FI no longer makes sense from the FI
and FSCM point of view, as the credit to be posted cannot be assigned to
any open item of the dispute case. Subsequent processing by programs
FOAP_PROCESS_PAYMENT_ADVICES and FOAP_PROCESS_INVOICES and the resulting
update of the dispute case is no longer necessary, and can no longer be
carried out for this credit.


System Response

Processing or transfer to FI is terminated.


How to fix this error?

Use transaction UDM_DISPUTE in the connected FSCM system to check from
the FI point of view dispute case <(>&<)>V1<(>&<)> for clearing
transactions, settlement documents already attached, and the amount
disputed.
This problem usually occurs when disputed items have already been
cleared in FI by an external application (such as CRM), and the disputed
amount is therefore zero, without a corresponding instruction being
triggered by a settlement from the external application.
What can also happen is that the settlement has been triggered again
from the external application such as CRM, and that the dispute case and
the clearing transactions carried out are correct. When this is the
case, there is no need to make a transfer again.
Decide whether the document really does still need to be transferred
<ZH>without</> any additional change in the dispute case. If this is not
actually the case, you can temporarily change the message if necessary
in Customizing. If you make a change to the message in Customizing then
in such a situation the credit is transferred to FI and posted, but
still cannot be assigned to dispute case &V1&, as there are no disputed
items available there. Further use of the credit in FI then has to be
undertaken manually, as automated use by the two programs mentioned
above is no longer possible in these circumstances.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
