How To Fix AD01311 - Expenditures without material assignment are automatically deleted

AD01311 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD01 - DI Processor (Expense-related Billing)

• Message number: 311

• Message text: Expenditures without material assignment are automatically deleted

What causes this issue?

You cannot assign selected expenditures to material maintained in DIP
profile &V1&. This causes processing to terminate. However, due to the
indicator "DI with Material" (set in the DIP profile), termination is
deactivated. Instead, expenditures that cannot be assigned to any
material, are not taken into account during processing. This can lead
to the fact that expenditures are not taken into consideration, which
should be. And therefore, invoices, credit memos, and quotations are
created with amounts which are too small.

System Response

How to fix this error?

If you do not want the system to behave as described above, deactivate

Procedure for System Administrators
