What causes this issue?

If grid usage bills contain a budget billing request for the end
customer, the due date - THPDT - in the business partner item is
generally used as the date for posting the aggregated grid usage bill.
However, if the due date lies in the past, the posting date from the
posting parameter in transaction ETRANSF is used instead.

System Response

During processing, the posting date &V2& was used from the posting
parameters for the budget billing item of the sender/recipient pair &V3&
&V4&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
