This error indicates that there has already been a settlement posted for the specified order, and as a result, you cannot perform another settlement for that order until the existing one is addressed.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Settlements: Review the settlement history for the order in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like KO03 (Display Order) or KOB1 (Order Line Items) to see if a settlement has already been posted.
  Correct Order Reference: Ensure that you are using the correct order number. Double-check the order number you are trying to settle.
  Review Settlement Period: Make sure that the settlement period is open and that the order is in a status that allows for settlements.
