1735694 - The Goods and Services Receipt is Not Posted Due to Error Message: Cannot Find Account Determination Group for Product Category

In the General Ledger work center, the goods and service receipt is shown in the Unposted Source Documents list, the error message is: Cannot Find Account Determination Group for Product Category. But the goods and service receipt document is for fixed asset procurement process, you feel the system should not give such an error message.

SAP Business ByDesign

Starting from ByDesign 3.5 release, it is possible to purchase several individual materials that belong to each other and will be treated as one fixed asset in the system. If you create a purchase order, goods receipt, or supplier invoice with a product category for fixed assets, you can now create new individual materials directly in the purchase order, and you can also create a purchase order for an individual material that represents an existing fixed asset. If the individual material is not created in the related purchase order, later on, you can also create the individual material in the goods and service receipt document. When the goods receipt is posted, the system uses the derivation rule together with the Company and Product Category to determine the relevant asset class, and creates a fixed asset with its assigned individual material.

If a new individual material is not created, or the account assignment type in the purchase order is not set as Individual Material, then the system will not post the item as fixed asset but as expense even though the Product Category is assigned with a Fixed Asset Class. This is why the system gives error message: Cannot Find Account Determination Group for Product Category XYZ.

To successfully post the item as fixed asset, follow the steps below:

1. First of all, cancel the goods and services receipt document in question:
