3396235 - An Error Occurred During the Credit Memo Posting.

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

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing Work center
  2. Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view
  3. Search for relevant credit memo
  4. Edit
  5. Choose Check
  6. 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.

  1. Go to Supplier invoicing work center
  2. Go to Invoice entry view
  3. Search by the delivery ID
  4. Click on New credit memo.
