Resolution

Check Reference > Customers for the customer. In this example, there is no Account to link the customer to the debtor account.

Note, you will get a similar message if the debtor account is disabled as shown below:

This can happen if you have rough posted a document, then the Debtor account has been disabled and you try to post it again.
