• Message text: Dummy profit center: No derivation of origin objects

What causes this issue?

System Response

The system does <ZH>not</> derive any origin objects on the basis of
your profit center assignment. The receiver report is called without any
additional restriction for the origin objects. It is not useful to make
a restriction because postings are usually made to the dummy profit
center in cases where <ZH>no</> profit center is assigned (and <ZH>not
</> because the origin object is assigned to the dummy profit center).

If you want to derive and restrict origin objects, you need to restrict
the selection to a different profit center in the sender report.
