4. Select a product from a catalog.
5. Select Edit Shopping Carts phase.
6. Now you can see the item type as material by default and the above error message.

By default system selects the item type as material.

The item is assigned to Product category ABC and product category ABC is maintained with the account determination group for the Services, the system fails to determine the account determination group.

Hence system throws the above error message.

System picks up the Item Type from the Product ID (for the internal products) and from the Custom Catalog - if the Product Id is mapped in the catalog.

If the Product ID is not mapped in the custom catalog,  then system would fail to pick the Item Type and defaults the itrem type as Material. In such situation you have to select the Item Type as Service.
