How To Fix MEPO860 - Final account assignment indicator only possible for valuated GR

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MEPO - New Purchase Order Dialog

• Message number: 860

• Message text: Final account assignment indicator only possible for valuated GR

What causes this issue?

You want to set the <DS:DE.AA_FINAL_IND>final account assignment
indicator</> for an account assignment item although a non-valuated
goods receipt is stored for the corresponding purchase order item.

System Response

You cannot set the final account assignment indicator, because the
system only allows you to do that for account assignment items that have
been manually created and assigned to multiple accounts, and for which a
valuated goods receipt, or no goods receipt, is expected. In addition
you need already to have created follow-on documents for the purchase
order item.

How to fix this error?

Specify valuated goods receipt in the purchase order item details, or
specify that you are not expecting a goods receipt for the purchase
order item:
To specify valuated goods receipt, deselect the <LS>GR Non-Valuated</>
checkbox on the <LS>Delivery</> tab.
To exclude goods receipts for the purchase order item, deselect the <ZK>
Goods Receipt</> checkbox on the <ZK>Delivery</> tab. If you want to set
the final account assignment indicator and are not expecting a goods
receipt, you must not have created an invoicing plan and you must have
specified in Customizing for <ZK>Materials Management</> that there are
to be no changes to the account assignment during invoice entry.

Procedure for System Administrators

  The SAP error message MEPO860 indicates that there is an issue with the final account assignment indicator in the context of a goods receipt (GR) that is not valuated. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires a final account assignment indicator, but the goods receipt you are working with does not have a valuation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Non-Valuated Goods Receipt: The goods receipt you are trying to process is not valuated, meaning that it does not have a monetary value assigned to it. This is often the case with stock types like "unrestricted stock" or "quality inspection stock" that are not linked to a financial transaction.
