  Cause

  This usually happens because the payment data or configuration related to the SET payment method is incomplete, incorrect, or inconsistent.
  Common causes include:

  Incorrect or incomplete configuration of the payment method SET in the payment program.
  The payment method SET is not allowed or not properly maintained for the company code or vendor/customer.
  The payment run tries to process a payment with SET, but the system cannot generate the required SEPA XML or payment file due to missing data or configuration.
  The payment method SET is not supported for the currency or country involved.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Vendor/Customer Master Data:
  
  Verify that the bank details (IBAN, BIC) are correctly maintained in the vendor/customer master.
  Ensure that the bank details are valid and complete for SEPA payments.

  Payment method parameters (e.g., allowed currencies, minimum/maximum amounts).
  
  
  Ensure that the payment method SET is correctly configured and active.
  
  
  
  Check Payment Run Parameters:
  
  When running the payment program (transaction F110), ensure that the payment method SET is selected only if it is valid for the vendor/customer and company code.

  Check SEPA Configuration:
  
  Verify SEPA-related customizing under SPRO > Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Payment Transactions > Electronic Bank Statement > SEPA.
