Correct your entry or create/complete cost center &V1&.
<ZH>Test system:</>

production system at a later date but do not want to create all the
cost centers required there, then you can deactivate this message in
the test system or change it to a warning or information message.
If you do so, you are responsible for ensuring that the cost center you
enter exists in the production system and can be posted to as required.
