  Check Posting Key: Verify the posting key you are using. Ensure that it is indeed a payment clearing posting key. You can check this in the SAP configuration settings (Transaction Code: OB41).
  Use Correct Posting Key: If the posting key is incorrect, use the appropriate payment clearing posting key for your transaction. Common payment clearing posting keys include 01 (Debit) and 11 (Credit), but this can vary based on your organization's configuration.

  Test in a Sandbox: If possible, test the transaction in a sandbox environment to ensure that the posting key works as expected before executing it in the production environment.
  
  Related Information:
