  The SAP error message EBW034 indicates that there is an issue with the internal global data buffer related to billing documents in the IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) module. Specifically, the message states that the global data buffer CL_ISU_IN_TOOLS=>BILL_DOC is not filled, which means that the system is unable to retrieve or process the billing document data as expected.
  Causes:
  
  Data Initialization Issues: The global data buffer may not have been properly initialized before it was accessed. This can happen if the program logic does not correctly set up the necessary data.
  Missing or Incomplete Data: The billing document data may not exist in the database, or there may be incomplete entries that prevent the buffer from being filled.
  Program Logic Errors: There could be a bug or oversight in the custom code or standard program that is supposed to populate the buffer.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, use the debugger to step through the code and identify where the buffer is not being filled. Look for any exceptions or errors in the logic.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the billing document data. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
