  Error Message
  VN2060: No procedure has been assigned for item category & on item level
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the processing of a purchasing document (such as a Purchase Order or Contract) when the system tries to determine the account assignment procedure for an item, but no procedure has been assigned for the combination of:
  
  The item category (e.g., standard item, subcontracting, consignment, etc.)
  The item level (e.g., header level or item level)
  
  In SAP MM (Materials Management), the account assignment procedure controls how account assignment categories (like cost center, asset, sales order, etc.) are handled for purchasing documents. If the system cannot find a valid procedure for the item category, it cannot determine how to post the accounting entries, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or changing a purchasing document.
  When the item category is assigned but the system cannot find a corresponding account assignment procedure.
  Often happens if customizing is incomplete or inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Account Assignment Procedure Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Account Assignment ? Assign Account Assignment Procedures.
  Verify that the item category in question is assigned to an account assignment procedure.
  If missing, assign the correct account assignment procedure to the item category.
  
  
  
  Check the Account Assignment Procedure Details:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Account Assignment ? Define Account Assignment Procedures.
  Verify that the procedure includes the relevant account assignment categories and that it is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Item Category Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Item Categories.
  Verify that the item category is correctly defined and linked to the appropriate account assignment procedure.
  
  
  
  Check the Item Level:
  
  The error message mentions "on item level" — ensure that the procedure is assigned for the correct item level (header or item).
  Some procedures are only valid for header level or item level; ensure the assignment matches the document structure.
  
  
  
  Review the Purchase Document:
  
  Check the item category assigned in the purchase document.
  Check if the account assignment category is correctly entered or defaulted.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this error appears after a transport or system upgrade, verify that customizing has been transported correctly.
  Sometimes missing customizing in the target system causes this error.
