  Error Message
  WS874: No identification object was entered for the invoicing party
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system expects an identification object (such as a tax number, VAT ID, or other required identification) for the invoicing party in a billing document or related transaction, but none has been provided.
  In SAP, the invoicing party (often the customer or vendor responsible for the invoice) must have certain identification data maintained, especially for legal and tax reporting purposes. If this data is missing or not entered in the relevant master data or document, the system raises this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The invoicing party's master data (customer/vendor) lacks required identification numbers.
  The billing document or invoice is missing the identification object.
  Configuration settings require identification objects for invoicing parties, but the data is incomplete.
  The identification object is mandatory
