  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Posting Key: The posting key you are using is not defined as a credit posting key in the SAP system. Posting keys determine the type of transaction (debit or credit) and the account types that can be posted to.
  Configuration Issues: The posting key may not be configured correctly in the system, or you may be using a posting key that is not intended for credit transactions.

  Use Correct Posting Key: If you are using the wrong posting key, switch to the appropriate credit posting key for your transaction.
