  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for SEPA payment methods may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing entries in the relevant tables that store SEPA data.

  Payment Method Settings: The payment method used may not be compatible with SEPA transactions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Master Data:

  Ensure that the relevant partner functions are correctly assigned.
