purchase order is returned to the warehouse funds center on goods issue
and the budget of the funds center entered for goods issue is debited.

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?

Since the goods issue is "really" updated in this concept, the goods
receipt must also be "really" updated, in order to ensure that data
remains consistent.
Specify a transaction type to be flagged as budget relevant during the
posting of the goods receipt.
Have the settings for transaction types checked in the Customizing of
Funds Management in step "Select transaction types", if required.

Procedure for System Administrators

If you still just want a statistical update of the goods receipt, you
can switch off the error message in the Customizing of Funds
Management.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICUSTOM016 - Statistical goods receipt contradicts Customizing for warehouse concept ?

  The SAP error message FICUSTOM016 indicates that there is a contradiction between the statistical goods receipt settings and the customizing settings for the warehouse concept in your SAP system. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration related to how goods receipts are processed in conjunction with warehouse management.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The error often occurs when the system is configured to handle statistical goods receipts, but the warehouse management settings do not support this type of receipt.
  Warehouse Management Settings: If the warehouse is set up to require a physical goods receipt instead of a statistical one, this can lead to the error.
  Document Type Settings: The document type used for the goods receipt may not be compatible with the statistical goods receipt process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FICUSTOM016 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:

  Review Warehouse Management Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the warehouse in question. Ensure that it is set up to allow statistical goods receipts if that is your intended process.

  Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the document type used for the goods receipt. Ensure that it is set up to allow statistical goods receipts if that is what you need.
