This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or process a document that already exists in the system, specifically in the XVBKA table, which is used to store billing document data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Document Creation: The most common cause of this error is an attempt to create a billing document (or another type of document) that already exists in the system. This can happen due to:
