  Account Deactivation: The account has been marked as inactive in the system, possibly due to business decisions or changes in the organizational structure.
  Configuration Issues: The account may not be properly configured in the system for the intended use, especially in the context of intercompany transactions.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Account Status:
  
  Go to the account master data in SAP (transaction code FS00) and verify the status of the account. Ensure that it is active and not marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Reactivate the Account:
