Message type: E = Error
Message class: SAFM_EOPO - Expenditure Order and Payment Order
Message number: 318
Message text: Cannot adjust beneficiary advances against documents with multiple POs
This payment document contains expenditure orders corresponding to
multiple purchase orders. To adjust beneficiary advances against a
payment document, the payment document must contain expenditure orders
corresponding to a single purchase order.
The system does not allow you to adjust beneficiary advances against the
payment document. However, you can still post the payment document
without adjusting any beneficiary advances against it.
Create separate payment documents for expenditure orders corresponding
to different purchase orders. For example, if expenditure orders EO1 and
EO2 correspond to purchase order PO1, while expenditure order EO3
corresponds to purchase order PO2, create two different payment
documents - one for EO1 and EO2, and one for EO3.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
