  • What causes this issue?

    The posting uses an FI document type that is assigned to a number range
    with external document number assignment. Using the method S
    ET_DOCUMENT_TYPE_SUBSEQ of the BAdI FI_INVOICE_RECEIPT_SPLIT or
    FI_BILL_ISSUE_SPLIT, a document type must therefore be determined that
    is assigned to a number range with internal document number assignment.
    However, a document type with an internal document number range is
    determined by the active BAdI implementation.

    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?

    Check your BAdI implementation and return an FI document type that is
    assigned to a document number range with internal document number
    assignment.
