You are performing a business scenario that is not supported by the current system.

1. Open the Purchase order.
2. Go to the General Tab, then you notice that the buying company is BC.
3. Go to the Items Tab.
4. Select the line of the material MM.
5. Navigate to the Delivery Sub-tab and observe that the Requester OR is from the buying company BC, while the Recipient IR belongs to the business residence BR of Business Partner BP.
6. Open the master data for the material MM.
7. Go to the Valuation Tab and understand that the buying company BC can only be linked to its own business residences, not other business residences like BR of Business Partner BP.

From Financial perspective, posting supplier invoice is based on the valuation data available in the material for the company and business residence combination. Therefore, the mentioned error occurs as expected.

Although this scenario is created without errors during the new purchase order phase, it is not supported in Financials. Therefore, please ensure that both the Recipient and the Requester are employees of the buying company in the purchase order.
