This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling, where functional areas are used for reporting purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Functional Area: The functional area you are trying to use has not been activated for the company codes involved in the transaction.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue where the functional area is not assigned to the relevant company codes.

  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).

  Ensure that the relevant settings in the controlling area are also correctly configured.
