  The SAP error message EB111, which states "Dunning not permitted in invoicing," typically occurs when there is an attempt to perform dunning (the process of communicating with customers to ensure the collection of payments) on an invoice that is not eligible for dunning. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes of EB111 Error
  
  
  Dunning Block: The customer or the specific invoice may have a dunning block set, which prevents dunning from being processed.
