  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is unable to find a corresponding reversal posting key for the posting key you are trying to use. In SAP, posting keys are used to define the type of transaction being posted (e.g., debit or credit), and each posting key can have a reversal posting key that is used when reversing transactions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define a reversal posting key for the specified posting key. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: 
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Document -> Document Entry -> Define Posting Keys
  
  
  
  
  Find the Posting Key:
  
  In the posting keys configuration, locate the posting key that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  
  Define the Reversal Posting Key:
  
  Check if a reversal posting key is already assigned. If not, you will need to create or assign a reversal posting key.
  You can do this by selecting the posting key and editing its properties to include a reversal posting key.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Transaction:

  Related Information:
  
  Posting Keys: Posting keys are two-digit numbers that control the type of posting (e.g., debit or credit) and the account types that can be posted to.
  Reversal Posting Keys: These are used to reverse a transaction. For example, if a transaction was posted with a debit posting key, the reversal posting key would typically be a credit posting key that negates the original entry.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorization to make changes to the configuration settings in SAP.
  Testing in a Development Environment: It is advisable to test any changes in a development or test environment before applying them to the production system to avoid unintended consequences.
