This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality in SAP.

  Check Ledger Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OB22 (or use the path: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > Ledger > Define Ledger Groups).
