This error typically arises during the reconciliation process when the system is trying to match bank transactions with corresponding invoices.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The date of the bank statement (e.g., the date when the transaction was recorded in the bank) does not fall within the acceptable range of dates for the invoice.
  The system has a predefined matching range (e.g., a certain number of days before and after the invoice date) that is not satisfied.

  Check Dates: Verify the dates of both the bank statement and the invoice. Ensure that they are correctly entered and reflect the actual transaction dates.
  
  
  Adjust Matching Range: If the dates are correct but still fall outside the matching range, consider adjusting the matching range settings in the configuration. This can usually be done in the SAP configuration settings for bank reconciliation.
  
  
  Reconcile Manually: If automatic reconciliation fails, you may need to manually reconcile the transactions. This involves reviewing the bank statement and the invoices to find the correct matches.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the bank statement processing and invoice matching. Ensure that the parameters for date matching are set appropriately for your business needs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to adjust settings related to bank statement processing and invoice matching.
