  The SAP error message BANK_CHDOC_TOOL201 indicates that there is a conflict in the settings when trying to specify a date range for a bank document. Specifically, the error arises when you attempt to use the option "Start from 1st of period" while also specifying a number of days. This is not allowed because these two options are mutually exclusive.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Conflicting Options: You have selected the option to start from the first day of a period (e.g., the first day of a month) while also entering a specific number of days for the date range. These two settings cannot be used together.
  Configuration Issue: There may be a configuration issue in the bank document processing settings that does not allow for this combination.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Adjust Your Selection:
  
  If you need to start from the first of the period, simply select that option and remove any day specifications.
  If you need to specify a range of days, uncheck the "Start from 1st of period" option and enter the desired number of days.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to bank document processing for guidance on how to set the date range correctly.
