  The SAP error message FM718 typically relates to issues with the financial management module, specifically in the context of accounts receivable and dunning processes. The message indicates that there is a problem with the dunning procedure for a specific account, where the highest dunning level is not meeting the minimum requirements set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Dunning Levels: The error suggests that the highest dunning level for the account is less than the minimum dunning level required for the dunning process to proceed. This could happen if:
  
  The account has not been dunned sufficiently.
  The dunning procedure settings are misconfigured.
  There are no open items that meet the criteria for dunning.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The dunning procedure may not be set up correctly in the system, leading to discrepancies in how dunning levels are applied.
  
  
  Account Status: The account may be in a status that prevents dunning, such as being blocked or having no overdue items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dunning Configuration:
  
  Review the dunning procedure settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the minimum and maximum dunning levels are correctly configured.

  Dunning Run:
