How to fix this error?

Enter only accounts receivable or payable or G/L accounts that are set
up with open item management, for example, bank clearing accounts.
This program can read only G/L accounts that are set up with open item
management (bank clearing accounts) because in G/L accounts that do not
record open items it is sometimes not possible to determine from the
line items what cash management totals to update for these items. The
reason for this is that the setup program (RFFUEB00) for these accounts
(bank accounts) does not store cash management planning information in
the individual line items, but only updates totals in Cash Management.
If you changed the planning level in a bank account master record and
want to correct the cash position display, you must either delete the
corresponding summary records from table FDSB and then run RFFUEB00 to
set up the amounts for this account again or carry out a complete
reorganization.
