  Cause:
  
  Data Replication Issues: The error often arises when there is a failure in the data replication process from the source system to the Central Finance system. This can happen due to network issues, system downtime, or configuration problems.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Replication: Verify the data replication status between the source system and the Central Finance system. Ensure that all relevant documents have been replicated successfully.
