Posting failed; Document numbering rule for self-invoice is not defined

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center 
  2. Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view
  3. Select Manual ERS Credit Memo
  4. Fill mandatory details & select Post 
  5. Above error appears

 

Cause

In the Business Configuration work center, for Document Numbering Formats for Supplier Invoicing,

User has defined two rules for the Document Numbering Formats for Supplier Invoicing.

For the first rule, Self-Invoice/ERS is not marked and for the second rule Self-Invoice/ERS is marked as "Yes".

Resolution

The Second rule defined for the  Self-Invoice/ERS has to be moved to the top so that system considers it while creating the self-invoices(evaluated receipt settlement).

Note: The sequence of rules in the list is important as the determination of document numbering formats works from top to bottom.
