How To Fix 26050 - Document type & does not allow you to assign to object &

26050 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 26 - Dokumentenverwaltung

• Message number: 050

• Message text: Document type & does not allow you to assign to object &

What causes this issue?

You want to assign an object (such as a material) to a document.
Settings in Customizing (Document management) determine which objects
can be assigned to documents per object type.
Document type &V1& does not allow you to assign object &V2& to a
document.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If you create a maintenance order by copying an existing order, you can
also copy the documents that are linked to that order. However, some or
all of the documents assigned to the reference order cannot be assigned
to the new order because their document type does not allow documents to
be assigned on header level or operation level. You can only assign
documents to the order if the SAP objects <NP>PMAUFK</> (<ZK>Maintenance
Order</>) and <NP>PMAFVC</> (<ZK>Maintenance Operation</>) are assigned
to the respective document type in Customizing for <ZK>Document
Management</>.

How to fix this error?

Check in Customizing (Document Management) which objects can be assigned
to documents of document type &V1&.
If you want to assign an object that is not defined in Customizing for
this document type, contact your system manager.
