  Missing Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that the necessary configuration for excise modvat accounts has not been set up in the system for the specified transaction type and excise group.

  Make sure to link the correct excise group to the modvat accounts.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Verify that the transaction type being used is correct and that it corresponds to the defined modvat accounts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
