  WS583: Adjustment invoice is only allowed for posting party customer
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to post an adjustment invoice (credit or debit memo) for a customer, but the posting party specified in the document is not the same as the customer for whom the adjustment invoice is being created.
  In SAP, an adjustment invoice is a special type of invoice used to correct or adjust previous billing documents. The system requires that the adjustment invoice be posted only for the posting party customer (the customer who is responsible for the payment and posting in FI).
  If the posting party in the document differs from the customer for whom the adjustment is being made, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistencies in accounting and customer reconciliation.
