Manual error messages need to be hand coded in the application. If that
is not done you will get a message like you mentioned. So if you would
like to contribute, there is a task for you here?

One example, I created an organization through Ofbiz Setup, and tried to create an invoice. It shows a long exception message in the user screen (which is useful, but more useful for a technical person. In that sense, it is available in the log files). The reason could be easily seen in the log file.

Do you think it would be more useful for the user to have a text "The accounting setup needs to be completed before ...." in the UI than the exception message. I hope the end user also create parties etc.
