What causes this issue?

billing requests(s). The first IS-U billing request found is based on
the SD billing document &v3&.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Verify that the IS-U billing request has to be invoiced and transfer
posted to the new customer (due to the customer change), or whether it
must remain with the old customer.
If there are more than one IS-U billing requests, find the
corresponding SD billing documents by searching the business partners
of contract account &v1& for the payer of the SD billing document.
To transfer post the items, use method TRANSFEROPENITEMS of BOR object
type MOVEINDOC. This ensures that the clearing reason is correctly
defined in the source document. You can configure the system to call
this method in a CIC or front office call. This is generally done in
the implementation phase- if necessary, contact your system
administrator.
