How to fix this error?

Contact your system administration.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system settings demand that budget billing amounts on the supplier
side cannot be posted as down payments within incoming invoice
processing. Despite this requirement, data records were selected from
the database table TINV_INV_TRANSF which require budget billing amounts
to be posted as down payments.
It is likely that the system settings were changed. Ensure that the
system settings allow these data records to be processed. Note that the
system can be set to post budget billing amounts as down payments, even
if this has not been explicitly activated in any service provider
agreement for the deregulation process REM_OUT in the system.
Within the system settings, reactivate the procedure which posts budget
billing amounts as down payments for incoming invoices using
<DS:TRAS.SM30>View</> Maintenance</> for the <LS>V_EDEREG_INV_SUP
</>view.

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