What causes this issue?

You have tried to create a document for one or more bills of exchange
(or checks). Because these are special general ledger transactions, the
system needs to know which reconciliation account to post them to in
the general ledger.
Each bill of exchange portfolio has a separate reconciliation account.
When you enter a document, the system determines which portfolio to use
on the basis of the information in the first line item.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

If you want to create a document that includes bills or checks, make
sure that the first line item contains a bill or check.
