  The SAP error message FKKVT_INVALID041 indicates that a specific billing cycle (identified by &1) is no longer allowed to be assigned to a particular contract or account (identified by &3). This error typically arises in the context of contract accounts in the SAP Convergent Charging or Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) modules.
  Cause:
  
  Billing Cycle Configuration: The billing cycle you are trying to assign may have been deactivated or removed from the system configuration. This can happen due to changes in business processes or updates in the system.
  Time Constraints: The billing cycle may have specific time constraints that prevent it from being assigned to certain accounts or contracts.
  Account Status: The account or contract to which you are trying to assign the billing cycle may be in a status that does not allow changes to billing cycles (e.g., closed, archived, etc.).
  Custom Logic: There may be custom logic or validations in place that restrict the assignment of certain billing cycles based on specific criteria.
