  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a Return Material Authorization (RMA) document, and the billing document type you are using is not configured as relevant for RMA in the system.

  Explanation:
  
  The system checks the billing document type during RMA processing.
  If the billing document type is not marked as relevant for RMA, the system blocks the transaction and throws this error.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to flag the billing document type as relevant for RMA in the SAP customizing settings.
