Answer 1

Check whether "Plants Abroad" is active in your system.  If so, go through the following note:-
Note 1085758 - Plants abroad: Customizing for stock transfer between plants
On the other hand, if it is not activated, then the other reason could be if you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your billing document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
To check this, Go to IMG Path > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger.  There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center.  So check in your billing document, whether any line item does not have profit center.
Note 1865603 - Error GLT2201 for profit center while account posting- J2IUN
Alternatively, you can also maintain a default Profit Center in 3KEH and retry this process.
