  Billing Period Issues: The billing period for which you are trying to generate the billing document may not have any relevant transactions or data.
  
  
  Contract Status: The status of the contract may not allow for billing. For example, if the contract is inactive or has been terminated, it may not be eligible for billing.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the contract or related master data that prevent the creation of billing documents.
