XXX - Journal Entry Voucher ID created by web service.

The Journal Entry Vouchers created via web service usually have the below tag present without a specific Cost Center for the item:

<CostCenterID/>

</OverheadCostsLedgerAccountItem>

 The reason for this error message is that the Account Assignment is ACC and the above tag is present in the xml file without a Cost Center.
