This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), or Sales and Distribution (SD), where substitution rules are defined to automatically replace certain values based on predefined criteria.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Substitution Rules: The most common cause is that there are no substitution rules defined for the specific condition or combination of fields being processed.
  Incorrect Configuration: The substitution rules may be incorrectly configured or not activated.
  Data Issues: The data being processed may not meet the criteria defined in the substitution rules, leading to no applicable substitution being found.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the substitution rules.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Substitution Rules:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., OBBH for FI substitutions) and verify that the substitution rules are correctly defined and activated.
  Ensure that the rules cover the specific conditions that are being processed.
