Troubleshooting

Find and fix the most common Bitta Commission refusal codes for modules, licensing, access, approvals, periods, statements and settlements, plus a setup check.

updated: applies-to: 1.1.2.0

Most Bitta Commission refusals start with a code such as BAA-FEATURE-OFF or BAA-LICENSE-CAPACITY, followed by a sentence that says what is wrong. This page shows you how to check your setup in one pass and lists the codes you are most likely to meet, with the fix for each.

First response

  • Read the code. Note the full message, the page and the action you chose. The part after BAA- names the area, for example FEATURE (modules), LICENSE, FINANCE (finance scope), WFL (approvals), STM (statements), DSP (disputes), SETTLE (settlement), RUN (calculation runs and periods) or COPY (configuration copy).
  • Check the module. If a page opens but its actions are refused, the module may be switched off in Commission Feature Management.
  • Check the license in the License group of Bitta Commission Setup: State, Valid Through, Payee Limit and Diagnostic.
  • Check your access. Confirm your permission set and your scope in Commission User Scopes.
  • Never edit ledger rows to work around a result. Use a correction, a reopen request or a new plan version instead.

Check setup with the setup checklist

  1. Search for Bitta Commission Setup Checklist and choose Check Setup. It checks every setup area again and keeps passed checks visible. Switch on Include Operational Verification to also check approvals, financial numbering, posting, real runs and reconciliation.
  2. Review the lines. Status is Passed, Needs attention or Not checked, and Check, Finding and How to Fix say what to do. The Readiness Code column is hidden by default; it holds the code support asks for.

Collect diagnostics for support

If the problem remains:

  1. Search for Commission Support Diagnostics. It collects its facts when it opens.
  2. Check the lines with Severity BLOCKING or WARNING. They often point at the cause, for example missing setup, a job queue entry in Error or no entitlement.
Commission Support Diagnostics filtered to lines with Severity BLOCKING or WARNING, such as a job queue entry still On Hold
Step 2: the lines that need attention.
  1. Choose Export Package and send the file to Bitta Apps support with the code, the page, the action and the time. See Job queue monitoring.
