  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Field Status Group Configuration: The field status group assigned to the document type or transaction may not have the required subsequent fields defined. For example, if a certain field is mandatory, but the subsequent field that depends on it is not set up correctly, this error can occur.
  
  
  Missing Configuration: There may be a missing configuration in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, where the system expects a certain field to be filled based on the previous field's input.

  Review Document Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the document type being used. You can do this via transaction code OBA7.
