This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a sales document (like a sales order or a billing document) and the system cannot find the necessary copy control settings to transfer data from one document to another.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Copy Control Settings: The primary cause of this error is that the copy control settings between the source document type and the target document type (and item category) have not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Document Type or Item Category: The document type or item category being used may not be correctly configured or may not exist in the system.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the sales document processing, they might not have the necessary copy control settings.

  Check Copy Control Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code VTAA (for sales order to billing) or VTAF (for billing to accounting) depending on the document types you are working with.
