  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB208: Billing document &1 not yet released for accounting
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform accounting-related activities (such as posting to accounting, creating accounting documents, or generating financial reports) for a billing document that has not yet been released for accounting in the system.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), billing documents must be released for accounting before they can be processed further in FI (Financial Accounting). This release step ensures that the billing document is complete and approved for posting to accounting.
