  The SAP error message FAP_PP058 indicates that there is a mismatch between the cash flow direction defined for a payment method and the cash flow direction of the associated bank account. This typically occurs in the context of payment processing, where the system expects a certain cash flow direction (incoming or outgoing) based on the configuration of the payment method and the bank account.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The payment method is configured for a specific cash flow direction (e.g., outgoing payments), but the bank account associated with that payment method is configured for the opposite direction (e.g., incoming payments).
