  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Existing Additional Flows: 
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL3N (for G/L accounts) or FBL1N (for vendor accounts) to find the existing additional flows that are causing the issue.
  Check the relevant reports or logs to see which additional flows are posted and need to be reversed.
