1901260 - Error 'Cannot find account determination group for product category XYZ' when Posting Invoice for Low Value Assets

You enter a supplier invoice containing one or several lines representing the acquisition of low value-value fixed assets.

When attempting to post, the message Cannot find account determination group for product category XYZ shows.

Your expectation however is that the posting should succeed since Product Category XYZ is assigned to a fixed asset class.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
2. Enter several invoicing items representing low-value fixed assets.
3. Press Post.

In the invoice several line-items are posted and therefore the system is prompted to create several fixed assets exhibiting corresponding individual materials.

In the fine tuning activity Capitalization Threshold for Fixed Assets for each Accounting Principle a Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount for low-value fixed assets is maintained.

In case a single item's net-value falls below the threshold, the account determination for fixed assets will not take effect resulting in the displayed error message.

In compliance with the applied accounting principles 3 options can be evaluated.

• Reduction of the minimum threshold for the acquisition of low-value fixed assets.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Edit the Fine Tuning activity Capitalization Threshold for Fixed Assets.
3. For the applied Accounting Principle, modify the value in the column Minimum Amount.

• Posting of items directly against expense accounts instead of creating fixed assets. For this purpose an account determination for materials and for this product category would have to be maintained.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Edit the Fine Tuning activity Default Account Determination Group for Product Categories.
3. Here for Product Category ID XYZ an appropriate Default Account Determination Group for Materials has to be maintained.

• Consolidation of invoice items in order to pass the low-value fixed asset threshold as outlined above.
