This error indicates that the system is unable to find a corresponding billing document for a specific item in the delivery note.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Billing Document: The most common cause is that a billing document has not been created for the item in question. This can happen if the delivery has not been processed correctly or if the billing document was not generated.
  
  
  Incorrect Delivery Status: The delivery might not be in a status that allows billing. For example, if the delivery is not fully picked or packed, the system may not allow billing.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the delivery and the billing document, such as missing or incorrect item details.
  
  
  Document Flow Issues: The document flow may not be correctly maintained, leading to a situation where the system cannot link the delivery to a billing document.
  
  
  Customizations or User Exits: Custom code or user exits may interfere with the standard process, causing the system to not generate the billing document as expected.
  
  
  Solution:
