  Correct Facility ID: If the facility ID was entered incorrectly, ensure that you are referencing the correct active facility.
  Consult with Business Rules: If the facility is intentionally inactive (e.g., due to closure or other business decisions), consult with your finance or operations team to understand the implications of activating it or to explore alternative solutions for handling the waiver/write-off.
  Review Configuration: If you have the necessary access, review the configuration settings related to facility management to ensure that the rules governing active/inactive facilities align with your business processes.
