Error message

How to fix this error?

Enter a target company code that does not have active Asset Accounting,
or change the Customizing settings for the target company code.
&NOTE&
If you want to use the mapping table in order to a post depreciation
area of a company code to the same depreciation area in the same
company code, so that they post directly to the general ledger, you
have to choose the "Post directly" option. If you choose this option,
then you can also choose a company code that has active Asset
Accounting in the target company code. However, you do have to make
sure that the source company code and depreciation area are the same as
the target company code and depreciation area. SAP recommends that you
leave the target data blank, and only choose the "Post directly"
option, when you do not want data to be transferred to a different
company code.
