3670446 - unable to post goods issue due to missing profit center details in sales orders in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• Unable to post Goods Issue due to missing profit center details on existing sales orders, which cannot be edited.
• The system has reserved stock for these orders, preventing alternative methods like scrapping or cost center consumption.
• Error message: "Please assign sales order item &1/&2 to a profit center."
• Error code: KI303

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create sales orders with materials assigned to a plant where the profit center is not maintained in the material master.
2. Complete the corresponding outbound deliveries and warehouse picking tasks.
3. Attempt to post Goods Issue for the sales orders.
4. Observe the error message: "Please assign sales order item &1/&2 to a profit center" with error code KI303.

• The affected sales orders reference materials assigned to a plant where the profit center is not maintained in the material master.
• Document splitting is active for the company code, requiring a valid profit center for cost and revenue lines during posting.
• The system attempts to derive the profit center from the material master and fails if it is not maintained.

1. Maintain Profit Center in Material Master:

To correct the issue for future transactions, assign a valid profit center to the material for the affected plant using one of the following apps:

• Manage Product Master Data (App ID: F1602)

• Change Material (App ID: F2129)

Steps:

1. Open the app and search for the affected material.

2. Navigate to the General Information → Plant-specific data.

3. In the Costing 1 section, assign a valid Profit Center.

4. Save.

Note: This update will only apply to newly created sales orders. Existing orders will retain the originally missing data.

  2: Handle Existing Blocked Sales Orders

Since profit center cannot be edited in existing sales orders or deliveries:

• Cancel the affected outbound deliveries.
• Recreate the sales orders after profit center has been maintained in the material.
• Proceed with delivery and PGI — error should no longer occur.

Prevention Going Forward:

Ensure that all finished goods have the Costing 1 view maintained, including Profit Center, before being used in any sales transactions.
