MEPO869 - Details

• The SAP error message MEPO869 indicates that an invoicing plan is not possible for differential invoicing. This error typically arises in the context of purchasing and invoicing processes, particularly when dealing with purchase orders that have been set up for differential invoicing.
  
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:

  Purchase Order Settings: The purchase order may not be set up to allow for differential invoicing. This could be due to the settings in the purchase order type or the item category.
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may not support differential invoicing, leading to this error when attempting to create an invoice.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the purchase order or invoicing plan
