  Enter a Reason Code: When prompted with the error message, check the transaction screen for a field labeled "Reason for Movement" or similar. Enter a valid reason code that corresponds to the movement type you are using.
  Check Movement Type Settings: If you are an administrator or have access to configuration settings, you can check the movement type settings in the SAP system:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJJ (for movement type configuration).
