  Limit your transaction to company codes that share the same controlling area.
  
  
  
  
  
  Data Migration Adjustments:
  
  If this error occurs during a data migration process, review the data being migrated to ensure that it only includes company codes that belong to the same controlling area.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
