For Sales Ledger it is very important to understand that there is a main account where the amount is posted but we also have a Cost Element account which has to be derived for sales ledger items.

The Cost and Revenue Element also called as G/L Origin account on the UI needs to be derived from the material based on account determination group. The posting logic only affects the main G/L Account derivation.

You have not maintained anything as part of Material Consumption account from where the Cost and Revenue Element accounts is derived. Therefore, error occurs.
