What causes this issue?

You would like to copy the account determination entries for automatic
postings from chart of accounts &V1& to chart of accounts &V2&.

can occur if the accounts in both charts of accounts are not identical.

Check whether all accounts relevant for the account determination from
chart of accounts &V1& are also in chart of accounts &V2&.
In particular, this is the case if chart of accounts &V2& resulted from
copying chart of accounts &V1&, where only the option "Accounts in
chart of accounts" option was selected and you had neither changed the
account determination entries for automatic postings in chart of
accounts &V1&, nor deleted accounts from chart of accounts &V2&.
