Symptom

'Enter GL Account' error in Create Purchase Order - Advanced app when we create Stock Transfer Order- Purchase Order for Non valuated material with account assignment Q. System asks for GL account and it is unable to change the field status in 'Maintain Account Assignment Categories' SSCUI.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Standard system behaviour.

Resolution

Using the account assignment category 'Q' to create the STO order, note that GL Account is a mandatory entry. It is a mandatory field whether it is used for creating standard(NB) Purchase Order or Stock Transfer Order(UB) Purchase Order.

To change the field control of GL account and make it as optional, create another custom account assignment category similar to Q and make the GL Account optional entry in 'Maintain Account Assignment Categories' SSCUI.
