• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FCO_COPA - SFIN message class for CO-PA relevant issues

• Message number: 035

• Message text: No or no unique sales order item assigned to work package &1

What causes this issue?

You are trying to post cost or revenue to an SAP Commercial Project
Management (CPM) work package to which one of the following applies:
No sales order item is assigned
More than one sales order item is assigned (unique sales order item is
required)
For correct processing, it is necessary that only one sales order item
is assigned to the work package. Costs cannot be recognized if no sales
order item is assigned to a work package or if more than one sales order
item is assigned. In these cases revenue recognition would be incomplete
and market segment information would be missing for these postings. As a
consequence, your profitability reporting for the work package &V1&
would be incorrect.

System Response

Processing is terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check whether a billing item has been created for work package &V1&. The
billing item will trigger the creation of a unique sales order item
assigned to this work package.
You might have a work package without a sales order item, for example if
you create a work package without a billing item and subsequently place
a purchase order with follow-up goods or invoice receipt. In this case
you might encounter this error message during posting of the goods or
invoice receipt.
If you receive this error message even though a billing item exists,
please contact SAP.

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