  The SAP error message KM126, which states "Account &1 can also receive manual postings," typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling when you are trying to post a transaction to a specific account that is configured to allow manual postings. This message is a warning rather than a critical error, indicating that the account in question is set up to accept manual entries.
  Cause:
  
  Account Configuration: The account you are trying to post to is configured to allow manual postings. This is often the case for accounts that are used for various types of transactions, including those that may require manual adjustments.
  Posting Type: The type of posting you are attempting may not align with the account's configuration or the expected posting behavior.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type you are using may not be compatible with the account settings.

  Review Account Settings: Check the configuration of the account in question. You can do this by navigating to the account in the SAP system and reviewing its settings in the chart of accounts. Ensure that the account is set up correctly for the type of postings you intend to make.
  Posting Type Verification: Ensure that the posting type you are using is appropriate for the account. If necessary, adjust the posting type or choose a different account that aligns with your transaction.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines regarding the use of manual postings and the specific account in question.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to post to the account. Sometimes, restrictions may be in place that prevent certain users from making manual postings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of posting to this account, consult with your finance or accounting team for guidance.
