Account assignment cannot be determined
Help Document

Diagnosis

The following causes can appear:

  1. The sales document has no account assignment object. However, an account assignment object must exist if you want to be able to perform Execution Services.
  2. The system cannot determine the account assignment category for the sales document.

    The account assignment category is selected via the main strategy or the requirements class. The requirements type determines the requirements class. In the standard system, requirements types are found according to a specific search strategy beginning with the material strategy group.

    For further information on the search strategy, see the Customizing documentation for Check Control of Requirements Type Determination.

System Response

The system cancels your action.

Procedure

If the sales document has no account assignment object:

  1. Change the sales document.
  2. Enter an account assignment object. You should enter either a sales order or a WBS element depending on your Customizing settings for the account assignment object.
  3. Save the sales document.

If the SAP System cannot determine the account assignment category, you will check the search strategy and enter one of the following Customizing settings:

  1. Enter the strategy group in material master (MRP 3 view).

    The following strategy groups are relevant for BOS in Sales and Distribution in the SAP System:

    • Make-to-order (20)
    • Make-to-order/project settlement (21)
  2. Enter the MRP group in material master (MRP 1 view).

    You will define the strategy group/MRP group combination in Customizing for Controlling under Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Product Cost by Sales Order -> Control of Sales-Order-Related Production/ Product Cost by Sales Order -> Selection of Requirements Type Through MRP Group -> Check Strategy Group for MRP Group.

    You will define requirements types and requirements classes in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, under Basic Functions -> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements -> Transfer of Requirements.

  3. Enter the MRP type in material master (MRP 1 view).

    You will define the item category/MRP type combinations in Customizing for Controlling under Product Cost Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Product Cost by Sales Order -> Control of Sales-Order-Related Production/ Product Cost by Sales Order -> Check Control of Requirements Type Determination.

    You will define requirements types and requirements classes in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, under Basic Functions -> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements -> Transfer of Requirements.
