  Cause:
  
  Reversal of Billing Document: The error occurs when an attempt is made to process a billing document that has already been reversed. This could happen if a user tries to reprocess or reissue a billing document that has been marked as reversed in the system.
  Incorrect Document Flow: The document flow may not be correctly maintained, leading to inconsistencies in the status of the billing document.
