Cause
Incorrect customizing.
In Finance, document splitting map particular keys to cash item category 04000. These can be used only in that context, it is not permitted to use these keys for other business transactions eg: supplier invoices.
In the configuration node 'Define Account Key in Purchasing' (SSCUI 106701) it is possible to create custom account key for pricing. These keys can then be assigned to conditions in the pricing procedure for account determination purposes.
The following account keys are currently in use in existing financial business processes.
Please do not create any of these keys listed below, for use in your custom pricing procedures, as you will NOT be able to post supplier invoices with these keys

Resolution
- If you have one or more purchase orders affected by this
- Reverse all follow on documents, goods receipts or invoices etc
- Change the purchase order to remove any condition which has an unsupported Account key
- Re-post the follow on documents without the problem condition.
- For future documents, copy the existing pricing procedure to a new one and replace the reserved Account key(s) with a new non‑reserved key (example, Z01, Z02)
- Assign the new pricing procedure in purchasing so that newly created purchase orders pick up the new pricing procedure. (old PO's remain unaffected by the change)
