  • What causes this issue?

    The account number you enter for the Goods receipt/Invoice receipt
    Clearing Accounts should have Open Item Management marked and should be
    only accounted in local currency. This must be true for all company
    codes for which the account number is valid.

    System Response

    The system lets you continue because it assumes that the rules above
    are only violated for unused company codes. But you have to be aware
    that Automatic Account Assignment will not work for all your company
    codes defined in T001.

    How to fix this error?

    You don't have to do anything if you are sure that the accounts master
    data is set up correctly for all company codes which you are using and
    there are other company codes which are unused and where your accounts
    master data might be incomplete.
    You have to change the account numbers if your account master data is
    set up correctly for all the company codes which are defined in the
    company code table T001.
    If you have the right account number, then you should go to Accounts
    Master Data and check the fields for Open Item Management and Only
    Local Currency. You must do this for all company codes in which the
    account number resides. Otherwise the Automatic Account Assignment
    will not work for all your company codes. If you change Master Data,
    you have to restart the wizard in order to make the changes effective
    for the wizard.
