This error typically arises when the BAPI is called without the necessary parameters or with incorrect parameters.

  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Modify the BAPI Call: Ensure that when you call the BAPI, you include the parameter RESET_CLEARING and set it to 'X'. This can typically be done in the code where the BAPI is invoked.
  Example:
  CALL FUNCTION 'Your_BAPI_Name'
    EXPORTING
      RESET_CLEARING = 'X'
      " other parameters
    IMPORTING
      " return parameters
    EXCEPTIONS
      " handle exceptions
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand the context and requirements for the RESET_CLEARING parameter. This will help ensure that you are using the BAPI correctly.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, test the BAPI call to ensure that the error is resolved and that the BAPI behaves as expected.
