  The SAP error message GI131 typically indicates that there is an issue with posting a goods movement or inventory transaction that is not allowed to post to the General Ledger (G/L) in a specific version of the system. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during inventory adjustments, goods receipts, or other inventory-related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to prevent certain types of postings to the G/L. This could be due to settings in the material master, movement types, or other related configuration.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type used for the transaction may not be allowed to post to the G/L.
  Version Control: The error message mentions "in vers 1," which may indicate that the transaction is being attempted in a version that does not allow G/L postings.

  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the movement type or document type involved in the transaction. Ensure that the settings allow for G/L postings if that is the intended behavior.
  Review Material Master: Check the material master records to ensure that they are set up correctly and that the relevant fields allow for G/L postings.
  Transaction Type: Verify that the transaction type being used is appropriate for the action you are trying to perform. If it is not meant to post to the G/L, consider using a different transaction type.
