  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The sales document item (identified by the sales document number and item number) has a billing block set. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Manual billing block set by a user.
  Automatic billing block due to certain conditions (e.g., credit limit exceeded, incomplete data).
  Configuration settings in the sales order or billing document that enforce a billing block under specific circumstances.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
