  Cause:
  
  Dunning Level Configuration: The dunning procedure for the customer/vendor may be configured to allow only one dunning level, but the system is trying to process multiple levels.
  Dunning Run Settings: The settings in the dunning run may be incorrectly configured, leading to an attempt to process more than one dunning level.

  Check Dunning Procedure: Review the dunning procedure assigned to the customer/vendor. Ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for the intended number of dunning levels.
