Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Goods and Services Receipt work center.
- Select Purchase Orders to Be Delivered view.
- Search for the relevant Purchase Order.
- Click on New Goods and Services Receipt button.
See the error message: Item x: Account determination group is missing for product category ABC (x represents the Line Item and ABC represents the Product Category ID).
Cause
This error occurs when a Goods Receipt is created for the purchase of a fixed asset using a Purchase Order with the account assignment type set to Project Task. Even if an individual material has been created, the Goods Receipt cannot be successfully posted. However, changing the account assignment type in the Purchase Order to cost center allows the Goods Receipt to be successfully posted for the purchase of the fixed asset.
When specifying the Project Task account assignment type for an Invoice item (Invoice without Purchase Order), no fixed asset of the corresponding individual material is created by default.
When using Project Task as the account assignment type for Purchase Order or Goods Receipt item, individual material will not post to the asset. However, it will post to the asset when using cost centre as the assignment. This information is also documented in the Individual Materials and Acquisitions documentation.
Resolution
Please create a fixed asset manually and use the corresponding individual material in the Purchase Order with account assignment to Project Task in this scenario.
