  Error Message
  VN2015 - Assigned procedure cannot be determined on item level
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during invoice verification or goods receipt when SAP tries to determine the invoice verification procedure (also called the tolerance procedure) at the item level but fails to find a valid procedure assigned.
  The invoice verification procedure controls how the system handles price and quantity differences during invoice verification. It is usually assigned based on:
  
  The purchasing document item category (e.g., standard, subcontracting, consignment)
  The material type
  The tolerance group assigned to the vendor or purchasing document
  
  If SAP cannot find a valid procedure for the item, it throws this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect configuration in the tolerance procedure assignment customizing.
  The purchasing document item category or material type used in the item is not assigned to any invoice verification procedure.
  The vendor or purchasing document does not have a valid tolerance group assigned.
  Customizing tables for tolerance procedures are incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Where the System Looks for the Procedure
  SAP determines the invoice verification procedure based on the following customizing path:
  SPRO ? Materials Management ? Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Set Up Invoice Verification Tolerance Limits
  Here, the system assigns the invoice verification procedure based on:
  
  Purchasing document item category
  Material type
  Vendor tolerance group
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Tolerance Procedure Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Materials Management ? Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Set Up Invoice Verification Tolerance Limits.
  Verify that the invoice verification procedure is assigned for the combination of:
  
  Purchasing document item category (e.g., standard item, subcontracting)
  Material type (e.g., ROH, HALB, FERT)
  Vendor tolerance group
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Verify that the vendor has a valid tolerance group assigned in the purchasing data (transaction XK02 or MK02).
  The tolerance group assigned to the vendor must be maintained in the tolerance procedure customizing.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Document Item Category:
  
  Confirm that the item category used in the purchasing document is correct and maintained in the tolerance procedure assignment.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Entries:
  
  If any combination is missing, create the necessary entries in the tolerance procedure customizing to cover all relevant combinations.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Ensure the material master has the correct material type assigned.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Invoice:
  
  After correcting the customizing, try to post the invoice again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  The invoice verification procedure controls tolerances for price and quantity differences during invoice verification.
  If the procedure is not determined, the system cannot check tolerances and thus blocks the posting.
  This error is common when new materials, vendors, or item categories are introduced without updating the tolerance procedure customizing.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the purchasing document is incomplete or inconsistent.
