How to fix this error?

If the exact value date is decisive for the payment method and therefore
the payment may not be carried out, this message must be set to message
type 'A' via the message control. The payment program then terminates
and the error can be corrected before payment.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The message is deactivated by default and the payment is made.
