  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:

  Inconsistent Settings: The settings for the new company code may not be consistent with the settings of the ledger. For example, the fiscal year variant, currency settings, or other parameters may not match.
  
  
  Ledger Assignment Issues: The ledger itself may not be set up correctly to accept new company codes, or it may have restrictions that prevent the assignment of additional company codes.
