This error suggests that the method get_finish_no is being called without a valid journal object (mr_journal), which is required for the method to function correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Journal Object: The most common cause of this error is that the mr_journal object is not initialized or is set to null when the get_finish_no method is called.
  Incorrect Logic: There may be a logical error in the code where the method is called without ensuring that the necessary prerequisites (like the journal object) are met.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be issues with the data being processed, such as missing or incomplete records that the method relies on.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Initialization: Ensure that the mr_journal object is properly initialized before calling the get_finish_no method. This may involve checking the code to see where mr_journal is set and ensuring it is not null.
  IF mr_journal IS NOT BOUND.

  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the mr_journal is supposed to be set and why it is not available at the time of the method call.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific method and class to understand the expected behavior and requirements for the get_finish_no method.
