This is a safeguard to prevent inconsistencies in financial data.
  Cause:
  
  Open Transactions: The bank details you are trying to change are linked to open invoices, payments, or other financial documents.
  Date Restrictions: The system may have restrictions on changing bank details if there are transactions that reference those details within a certain date range.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in SAP may restrict changes to bank details if they are still in use.
  
  Solution:

  Check Open Transactions:
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display) to check for any open items associated with the vendor or customer whose bank details you are trying to change.

  Clear Open Items:
  
  If there are open items, you may need to clear them (e.g., by processing payments or clearing invoices) before you can change the bank details.
  If the items cannot be cleared, consider whether you can change the bank details for a different date or if you need to wait until the items are settled.
  
  
  
  Change Bank Details:
  
  Once you have cleared or resolved the open items, you can attempt to change the bank details again.
  Navigate to the vendor or customer master data and update the bank details as needed.
