  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Payment Type Mismatch: The system is trying to process a payment that is not a credit amount for a group that only allows credit payments.
  Incorrect Configuration: The payment group may be configured to only accept credit payments, and the transaction being processed does not meet this requirement.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where a debit amount is mistakenly entered instead of a credit amount.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Payment Amount: Check the payment amount you are trying to process. Ensure that it is a credit amount (indicated by '+') and not a debit amount.
  
  
  Check Group Configuration: Review the configuration of the payment group in SAP. Ensure that it is set up to accept the type of payment you are trying to process. If it is meant to accept both credit and debit payments, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the payment amount was entered incorrectly, correct the entry to reflect a valid credit amount.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines related to payment processing in your system.
