  Account Configuration: The account specified in the error message is configured in the system to only allow automatic postings. This is common for accounts like reconciliation accounts for accounts payable or accounts receivable.

  To resolve this error, you can consider the following solutions:
  
  
  Use Automatic Posting: If the account is meant for automatic postings, ensure that you are using the appropriate transaction that allows for automatic postings.

  Navigating to the account in the Chart of Accounts (transaction code FS00).
  Modifying the account settings to allow manual postings. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires authorization and a good understanding of the implications.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about changing the account settings, consult with your finance or accounting team to understand the implications of allowing manual postings to that account.
