  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJJ to check the configuration of movement type "ZZ".
  Ensure that the movement type is allowed for the receipt process. You may need to adjust the settings to enable it for goods receipts if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Movement Type:
  
  If movement type "ZZ" is not intended for receipts, consider using a standard movement type that is allowed for goods receipts, such as 101 (Goods Receipt for Purchase Order) or 105 (Goods Receipt for Stock Transfer).
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing movement types, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant. They can provide guidance on the appropriate movement types to use and help with any necessary configuration changes.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
