  Cause:

  Check Company Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Prepare for Migration).
  Verify that the company code in question is correctly configured and that it has a credit control area assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Credit Control Area:
  
  If the company code does not have a credit control area assigned, you need to assign one. This can be done in the same configuration area:

  Check Credit Control Area Settings:
  
  Ensure that the credit control area is properly configured to manage credit limits and that it is active.
