• Message class: GJ - Joint Venture Accounting

• Message number: 919

• Message text: Recovery Indicators Are Inconsistent Between & and & , P.O. & &

What causes this issue?

The recovery indicator for the receipt of a component should be the
same as the recovery indicator for the receipt of the goods from the
vendor. It is possible that the goods receipt from the vendor is
billable while the receipt of the component is non-billable. This
would result in the venture receiving the component not reimbursing the
venture issuing the component.
Currently, the recovery indicators are different for the goods from the
vendor, &V1&, and the component, &V2&, on purchase order &V3&, item
&V4&.
