What causes this issue?

You have decided that you want to create direct debit pre-notifications
in the payment run. You have selected payment method &V1& for this,
which does not create payment documents during the posting run, but
instead <DS:DE.PYORD>payment orders</>. This combination is not possible
and not necessary.

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?

To generate direct debit pre-notifications for payment methods that
create payment orders, you can carry out a payment run directly at the
time of the notification, which selects the items that are due in the
future and uses payment orders to prevent them being cleared in other
ways. You can send payment advice as direct debit pre-notifications at
this point by entering form F110_DD_PRENOT
printing the payment advice. You can then create the payment media when
the payments are due, and activate <DS:DE.FORDBELP>payment document
validation</> to exclude payment orders that have been deleted in the
meantime.

Procedure for System Administrators

If you want to use the payment orders as direct debit pre-notifications,
check the settings for printing payment advice in the configuration for
the <DS:TRAN.FBZP>payment method in the company code</>.
