  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type being used may not be properly defined in the system, or it may not be linked to the appropriate business transaction category.

  Check T156SY Table: 
  
  Go to transaction SE16 or SE16N and check the T156SY table for the entry corresponding to the movement type you are trying to use. Ensure that there is a valid entry for the business transaction category.

  Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Movement Types -> Define Movement Types
  
  Ensure that all necessary settings are in place for the movement type in question.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
