  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Key Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB14 (for defining posting keys) and check if the posting key in question exists.
  If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or adjust your transaction to use a valid posting key.

  Adjust the Transaction:
  
  If the posting key is not essential for the transaction, consider modifying the transaction to use a different, valid posting key.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If there are any user exits or enhancements that might be affecting the posting process, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
