  The error arises when:
  
  A bill of exchange is marked as bounced, but the system does not have the necessary configuration to determine how to process this event.
  The status or special G/L indicator for bounced bills of exchange has not been defined in the system settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to configure the necessary settings in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do so:

  Ensure that you have a special G/L indicator set up for bounced bills of exchange. This indicator will determine how the system should treat the financial impact of a bounced bill.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  After defining the status and special G/L indicator, ensure that they are correctly linked to the relevant company codes and account settings.
  You may also want to check if there are any other related configurations that need to be adjusted in the financial accounting module.
