MEPO864 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MEPO - New Purchase Order Dialog

• Message number: 864

• Message text: Final AA quantity &1 is less than maximum delivery cost quantity &2

What causes this issue?

You want to set the <DS:DE.AA_FINAL_IND>final account assignment
indicator</> for an account assignment item. The <DS:DE.AA_FINAL_QTY>
final account assignment quantity</> for this item, which the system has
determined from the purchase order history, is less than the maximum
delivery cost quantity.
When you set the final account assignment indicator for an account
assignment item, the system determines the final account assignment
quantity based on the delivered and invoiced material quantities.
However, it does not include planned delivery costs.
The goods receipts or invoice receipts you have created for delivery
costs are higher than those for the corresponding material items. The
quantity of delivery costs entered therefore exceeds the final account
assignment quantity that the system determined. The system compares the
quantity of delivery costs in goods receipts and invoice receipts, and
sets the higher amount as the maximum delivery cost quantity.
