• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN2019 - Caution! No procedure assigned. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2019 - Caution! No procedure assigned.
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN2019 occurs during vendor invoice processing (transaction codes like MIRO, MRBR, or related logistics invoice verification processes) when the system cannot find a payment procedure assigned to the vendor or the company code. The payment procedure is essential because it defines how payments to the vendor are processed, including payment methods, terms, and other related settings.
  In other words, the system is trying to determine the payment procedure for the vendor invoice but fails because the necessary configuration or master data assignment is missing.
  
  Typical Reasons:
  
  
  No Payment Procedure assigned to the Vendor Master:
  
  The vendor master record (in the company code segment) does not have a payment procedure assigned.
  
  
  No Payment Procedure assigned to the Company Code:
  
  The company code configuration does not have a payment procedure assigned for the country or vendor account group.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration in IMG:
  
  The payment procedure is not properly configured or assigned in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Financial Accounting settings.
  
  
  Country or Vendor Account Group mismatch:
  
  The payment procedure assignment depends on the country and vendor account group. If these are inconsistent or missing, the system cannot determine the procedure.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VN2019 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction XK02 (Change Vendor) or FK02 (Change Vendor Company Code).
  Verify that the Payment Transactions tab has a payment procedure assigned.
  If missing, assign the correct payment procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to transaction OBVCU (Assign Payment Procedure to Company Code).
  Ensure that the payment procedure is assigned to the company code and country.
  
  
  
  Verify Payment Procedure Configuration:
  
  In SPRO, navigate to:
  
  Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Payment Transactions -> Automatic Payment -> Payment Program -> Set Up Payment Methods per Country
  Check that payment procedures are defined and assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Assign Payment Procedure to Vendor Account Group and Country:
  
  In SPRO, check the assignment of payment procedures to vendor account groups and countries.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Invoice:
  
  After correcting the assignments, try to post the invoice again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The payment procedure controls how payments are made to vendors, including payment methods (e.g., check, bank transfer), payment terms, and forms.
  Missing payment procedure assignment can block invoice posting or payment processing.
  This error is a caution, but it may prevent further processing depending on system settings.
  Always ensure master data and configuration are consistent and complete.
