How to fix this error?

Document types can be assigned to a task either directly, or
indirectly, by assigning the document types to the combinations of
activities and accounting techniques, which, in turn, are assigned to a
task. In the global settings, you have chosen the "indirect" option,
but you have not assigned any document types to the combinations.
Either make the "indirect" assignments, or choose the "direct" option
and assign a document type directly to the task.
