  The SAP error message RECAAP120 typically indicates that a specific entry referenced in a transaction or process does not exist in the system. This error can occur in various contexts, often related to asset accounting, real estate management, or other modules where specific entries are expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Existent Entry: The most common cause is that the entry (e.g., asset, contract, or document) referenced by the system does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The entry was deleted.
  The entry was never created.
  There is a typo or incorrect reference in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing master data or configuration settings that prevent the system from recognizing the entry.

  Checking the specific module (e.g., Asset Accounting, Real Estate Management) for the entry.
  
  
  
  Correct Reference: If the entry does not exist, ensure that the reference in your transaction is correct. Look for typos or incorrect IDs.
