This error typically arises during reconciliation processes or when trying to post documents that involve multiple ledgers in SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the posting date (BUDAT) of a document in the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) does not match between two ledgers. This can happen due to several reasons:

  Manual Adjustments: Manual adjustments or postings made in one ledger that are not reflected in the other ledger.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the ledgers or the accounting principles that govern them.
