  Re-run Data Transfer: If the documents are valid and need to be included in the data transfer, you may need to re-run the data transfer process after ensuring that no new documents are posted during the transfer.
  Lock Posting Period: To prevent this error in the future, consider locking the posting period during the data transfer process. This will prevent users from posting new transactions while the data transfer is being executed.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions related to your version and configuration of SAP.
