  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the necessary configuration for the G/L account determination is missing or incomplete. This could be due to:

  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required G/L accounts.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Review Process Type:
  
  Ensure that the process type used in the transaction is valid and correctly mapped to the appropriate G/L accounts.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
