  The SAP error message K5097 indicates that there is an issue with account determination in the controlling area. This error typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction in Controlling (CO) and the system cannot find the appropriate account assignment for the specified controlling area.
  Cause:
  The error message K5097 is triggered when:
  
  Account Determination Not Configured: The account determination for the controlling area has not been set up correctly. This can happen if the necessary configuration for cost elements or internal orders is missing.
  New Controlling Area: The controlling area you are trying to use is new and has not been fully configured for account determination.
  Missing Cost Elements: The cost elements that are required for the transaction are not defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K5097 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).

  Account Assignment:

  Ensure that the cost elements are marked as "Primary" or "Secondary" as required.
  
  
  
  Check for Missing Configuration:
