  SAP Error Message: VN2038
  Text:
  Condition & : Application does not correspond to application in TRFM
  
  1. Cause
  This error occurs during the processing of conditions in the Vendor Invoice Verification (transaction MIRO) or Purchase Order processing when the condition application assigned to a condition record does not match the application expected in the TRFM (Transaction Flow Matrix).
  
  TRFM (Transaction Flow Matrix) is a configuration table that controls which condition types are valid for which application areas (e.g., Purchasing, Invoice Verification, etc.).
  The condition record has an application (e.g., 'E' for Purchasing, 'I' for Invoice Verification).
  The system checks if the condition's application matches the application expected in the TRFM for the current transaction.
  If there is a mismatch, the system throws the VN2038 error.
  
  In short: The condition type or condition record is assigned to an application that is not valid for the current transaction or document type.
