• Message text: Distribution rule could not be created automatically

What causes this issue?

The distribution rule could not be created automatically. When a
production order is created the system tries to create a distribution
rule automatically. If this is not possible there may be several
explanations, for example:
the settlement profile for your order type does not permit the
recipient for whom a distribution rule is to be automatically created
several recipients are entered as compulsory recipients for the
settlement profile
the material that is producted is not valuated. Therefore the system
cannot generate a distribution rule with the recipient material.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

You should check which of the above reasons is true and change the
settlement profile if necessary. If an order is to be created for a
material without evaluation then the distribution rule must be
maintained manually.
