  The SAP error message J4281, which states "Field SALLGPB must not be specified for items," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) when there is an issue with the sales area or pricing conditions in a sales document.
  Cause:
  The error is usually triggered when the system detects that the field SALLGPB (Sales Group) is being incorrectly specified for line items in a sales document. This field is generally meant to be used at the header level of the document rather than at the item level. The error indicates that the system does not allow the specification of this field for individual items.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Structure: Ensure that the sales document you are working with is structured correctly. The sales group should be specified at the header level, not at the item level.
  
  
  Review Item Data: Go through the line items in the sales document and verify that the SALLGPB field is not being populated. If it is, remove it from the item data.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If you are customizing the sales document or using a custom program, check the configuration or code to ensure that the SALLGPB field is not being incorrectly assigned to item-level data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to sales document processing to understand the correct usage of the SALLGPB field.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the document creation or processing again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.

  User Exits and BAdIs: If you are using user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that manipulate sales document data, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
