System Response

Depending on the type of this system message (warning, error), you may
be able to save the scheduling agreement. However, problems are likely
to arise in follow-on functions (see below).

How to fix this error?

Check the tax code. Without a tax code, it may not be possible to update
the cumulative supplier business volumes at the time of "PO/scheduling
agreement" or "goods receipt".
Since the price determination process does not take place until later,
the system cannot determine whether condition records requiring
subsequent settlement really are relevant to this item.
Posting the document without a tax code (in the event that this system
message is a warning) causes a message to appear in the workflow of the
employee responsible when the system tries to update the supplier
business volumes expressed as value.
