Summary :
In SAP environments utilizing INVOIC01 or INVOIC02 IDocs for intercompany billing (SD to FI) or posting vendor invoices via EDI, an issue may arise where the processing error 00256 occurs due to posting solely free items (amount zero) resulting in IDocs containing only document header information. Consequently, FI postings are unnecessary and impossible. A resolution involves ensuring the IDoc status is updated to 53 (Application document posted) signaling successful processing without financial data transactions. Additionally, implement program corrections alongside creating message FD129 in SE91 to communicate that no posting is required for such IDocs.
