This error typically occurs in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module when dealing with payment transactions.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Missing Split Characteristics: The ledger you are trying to use does not have any split characteristics defined. Split characteristics are necessary for the system to determine how to allocate amounts across different characteristics (like funds, cost centers, etc.).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the Funds Management settings where the split characteristics have not been properly set up for the ledger in question.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type you are trying to execute may require split characteristics that are not defined in the ledger.

  Go to the configuration settings for the Funds Management module.
  Navigate to the ledger settings and verify if split characteristics are defined for the specific ledger you are using.
  
  
  
  Define Split Characteristics:

  Ensure that the necessary characteristics (like fund, commitment item, etc.) are included in the split characteristics for the ledger.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Check the transaction type you are trying to execute and ensure that it is compatible with the ledger settings.
  If necessary, adjust the transaction type settings to align with the defined split characteristics.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring split characteristics in your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
