  Cause
  
  Business Rule Violation:
  The error arises because SAP enforces a business rule that a new payer (a payer not previously assigned or recognized in the system) can only be created or assigned if it is linked to a new bill-to party.  
  Incorrect Master Data Assignment:
  You are trying to assign a new payer to an existing bill-to party, which is not allowed. The system expects that if you introduce a new payer, it must be associated with a new bill-to party as well.
  Configuration or Customizing Settings:
  This behavior can be influenced by the configuration in the sales area data or customer master settings, where the relationship between payer and bill-to party is controlled.
