Build payments error

Question

I am trying to run a cheque payment batch but the Build payments request is erroring. I have run this successfully many times a month or so ago.
I have tried searching metalink, on OTN and googling the error but no luck.
Here is the log from the request:

Answer 1

Hi,
Since you were able to run this successfully earlier, i would rule out the possibility of this being a BUG...
The second most likely cause is that, the payment document used by this payment process request is also being used in another payment process request which is in incomplete status....So, make sure there are no other payment process requests pending apart from this one ... either complete those or terminate those...
The Third cause is that, the payment document defined would have exhausted its sequence numbers, hence you should either increase the sequence or use a different payment document which has enough number of sequences available for generating checks...
By sequence i am referring to the number of check leafs...
If the above does not apply, then you would be better off logging a service request with oracle, as it could be something new which many are not aware of ...
