  The SAP error message 0D221 indicates that line items are not permitted for a specific document type in the system. This error typically occurs when you are trying to post a document (like an invoice, journal entry, etc.) that is not allowed to have line items based on its configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type you are using is configured in such a way that it does not allow line items. This could be due to settings in the configuration of the document type in the Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules.
  Transaction Type Restrictions: Certain transaction types may inherently not allow line items, such as certain types of adjustments or summary postings.
  User Authorization: In some cases, user roles and authorizations may restrict the ability to post line items for certain document types.

  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the document type in transaction code OBY6 (for FI) or OKB9 (for CO).
