  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and enter the name of the BAdI mentioned in the error message.
  Check if there are any active implementations for the BAdI. If not, you will need to create an implementation.

  Testing:
  
  After implementing or activating the BAdI, perform thorough testing to ensure that the invoicing process works as expected without triggering the error.
