How To Fix DGEXC116 - Check method type &1 requires a valid assignment object

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DGEXC - Messages for Exceptions to DG Regulations

• Message number: 116

• Message text: Check method type &1 requires a valid assignment object

What causes this issue?

You have defined an exception that assigned specific assignment objects
in the exception header using the assignment profile (see also the IMG
activity <DS:SIMG.VCDG_TDG85>Define Assignment Profiles for Exceptions
to Dangerous Goods Regulations</>).
You now want to assign a check method to this exception, which due to
the assigned check method type (see the IMG activity
<DS:SIMG.GGA_300_140>Specify Dangerous Goods Check Methods</>), cannot
be taken into account in further processing.

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

The following assignment options are not possible:
Exception w/ Assignment Object: ,,,,Check Mthd w/ Check Mthd Types:
Handling Unit Header,,,,,,,,,,04, 06
Example:
You have defined an exception that can be assigned only to the handling
unit header. You now want to assign a check method with check method
type 04 DG Mixed Packing Check or 06 DG Packing Check to this exception.
However, this is not allowed since an exception in the HU header cannot
be taken into account in the dangerous goods checks at HU item level (04
DG Mixed Packing Checks, 06 DG Packing Checks).
