  Solution:
  
  Review Creditor Data: Check the creditor's master data in the SAP system. Ensure that the creditor is correctly classified as a legal entity if the transaction requires it.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process allows for natural persons to be creditors, review the configuration settings in the relevant SAP module to see if adjustments can be made to allow for this scenario.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific business rules that apply to creditor classifications and transferability restrictions.
