This error typically occurs during the migration process when you are trying to transfer balances from legacy systems to SAP S/4HANA or during the use of the Migration Cockpit.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The source ledgers (such as the General Ledger or other financial ledgers) have not been properly configured in the system.
  Incorrect Migration Settings: The migration settings may not have been correctly defined, leading to the system not recognizing any source ledgers.
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with the data transfer from the legacy system, resulting in no ledgers being available for migration.
