  SAP Message: VN2016
  Text: Assigned procedure for document type & on header level &
  
  1. Cause
  This message typically appears in the context of Vendor Invoice Verification (MM-IV) or Logistics Invoice Verification when the system checks the Invoice Verification Procedure assigned to a particular Document Type at the header level of an invoice document.
  
  The system is informing you that for the given Document Type (e.g., RE for Invoice, KR for Credit Memo), a specific Invoice Verification Procedure is assigned at the header level.
  This is usually a system information message rather than an error, indicating which procedure is being used.
  However, if this message appears as an error or blocks processing, it may be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect assignment of the invoice verification procedure for the document type.
  Inconsistency or misconfiguration in the customizing settings for invoice verification.
  The system expects a procedure to be assigned but finds none or an incorrect one.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Check the assignment of the Invoice Verification Procedure to the Document Type:
  Go to the customizing path:
  SPRO ? Materials Management ? Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Control ? Assign Invoice Verification Procedure to Document Type
  
  
  Verify that the Document Type in question has a valid Invoice Verification Procedure assigned.
  
  
  If missing, assign the correct procedure according to your business requirements.
  
  
  If the assignment is correct but the message still appears as an error, check:
  
  Whether the procedure assigned is active and properly configured.
  Whether the document type used in the transaction is correct.
  Whether the invoice document header data is consistent.
  
  
  
  After correcting the assignment or configuration, retry the transaction.
