• Message class: FAGL_REORGANIZATION - Reorganization

• Message number: 516

• Message text: Simulation: Doc. chain for receivable/payable &1 is not traced back

What causes this issue?

To establish the object from which the receivable or payable received
its profit center account assignment, you can simulate
<DS:GLOS.3588D1BBD1952050E10000009B38F982>document splitting</> for that
receivable or payable.
If the receivable or payable has an invoice reference to another
receivable or payable, the latter also needs to be simulated.
If, however, the invoice reference needs to be tracked over multiple
levels, the analysis terminates for performance reasons.

System Response

The document chain is <ZH>not</> tracked any further.
If the receivable or payable has received its account assignments from a
different object (such as a cost center), the receivable or payable is
usually reorganized in the same way as that object. In this way, the
object owner does <ZH>not</> need to specify the new assignment of the
receivable or payable manually.
If the simulated result is discarded, the reference to the object
providing the account assignment <ZH>cannot</> be determined thereafter.
Consequently, the receivable or payable needs to be treated as a
first-level object of the <DS:GLOS.4989E534075B61FAE10000000A421948>
derivation hierarchy</>. From then on, the receivable or payable is now
dealt with as if the profit center had been assigned directly.
