This error typically arises in the context of electronic payments, particularly when dealing with direct debits or credit transfers in the SEPA format.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  Configuration Settings: The settings in the payment method or the customer/vendor master data may require prenotification, but the necessary details have not been filled in.
  Missing Data: The relevant fields for prenotification in the payment proposal or payment run are not populated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payment Method Configuration:

  You can access this data using transaction codes like XD02 (for customers) or MK02 (for vendors).
  
  
  
  Fill in Prenotification Data:
  
  If the prenotification data is missing, you will need to enter it. This may include details such as the prenotification date, the amount, and any other relevant information.
  Ensure that the prenotification is sent to the debtor before the actual payment is processed.
  
  
  
  Run Payment Proposal Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to run the payment proposal or payment run again to see if the error persists.
