  Missing or Incorrect Accounting Principle: The accounting principle you are trying to use may not be correctly defined or activated in the system.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Material Ledger settings that prevent the use of the accounting principle in the current context.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
