  The SAP error message FIN_SUB_VAL015 indicates that there is a mismatch between the transaction type and the G/L account being used in a financial transaction. This error typically occurs when the transaction type specified does not align with the allowed transaction types for the specified G/L account.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction type you are trying to use is not valid for the G/L account specified. Each G/L account can be configured to accept only certain transaction types.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  Account Type Restrictions: The G/L account may be restricted to certain types of transactions (e.g., only allowing certain types of postings like revenue or expense).

  Check Transaction Type: Verify the transaction type you are using in the transaction. Ensure that it is appropriate for the G/L account in question.
  Review G/L Account Configuration: 
  
  Go to the G/L account master data and check the settings for the account. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code FS00 (G/L Account Master Record).
  Look for the allowed transaction types in the account settings.
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the allowed transaction types for the G/L account, consult with your SAP FI configuration team or the person responsible for maintaining the G/L accounts.
  Adjust Transaction Type: If the transaction type is indeed incorrect, adjust it to one that is valid for the G/L account you are using.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error does not occur.
