How To Fix RQ149 - You must not define a planning group for agency transactions

RQ149 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RQ - Messages for Cash Management and Forecast

• Message number: 149

• Message text: You must not define a planning group for agency transactions

What causes this issue?

You must not define planning groups for agency deals because such deals
reference accounts receivable (payers) and accounts payable (payees),
but planning groups must be assigned to one or the other, not both.
For this reason, the system assumes, when recording agency deals, that
the company code data for the customer or vendor has already been
created. The system then uses the planning group defined in the master
data for update purposes.
If the company code data has NOT yet been created, no data is recorded
in cash management.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
