Symptom
Error while posting the credit memo "Item Y: Account assignment data missing for item Y.Y; see Cost Distribution" (Y represents line item number)
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing Work center
- Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view
- Search for relevant credit memo
- Edit
- Choose Check
- System throws an error "Item Y: Account assignment data missing for item Y.Y; see Cost Distribution"
Cause
The purchase order and supplier invoice for the product have the process type "To-Stock," however the credit memo that was generated from the scanning view now has the process type "Non-Stock.". The error is raised because the process type "To Stock" does not have an account assignment.
Resolution
As the credit memo was generated using a scanned invoice, make any necessary corrections to the memo before generating the credit memo.
Or else create the new credit memo manually.
- Go to Supplier invoicing work center
- Go to Invoice entry view
- Search by the delivery ID
- Click on New credit memo.
