SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FD - EDI Messages in FI

• Message number: 016

• Message text: Company code could not be determined for intermediate document &

What causes this issue?

The system cannot determine the relevant company code since the
allocation for the data transferred in the invoice is missing in
Financial Accounting customizing.

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

For an invoice of the "INVOIC01" intermediate document type it is also
the case that the company code can be determined outside of the system
and can be placed in the intermediate document (for example, by the EDI
subsystem). The company code must then be placed in the E1EDK14
segment, ORGID field and the value "011" be used as the qualifier.
