Message text: Purchase order generation: account assignment category &1 cannot be used
When generating a freight purchase order, the system found that
consumption indicator &v2& is set in account assignment category &v1&.
This is not allowed.
No freight purchase order can be generated.
The account assignment category for automatic purchase order generation
must have the value "U" (unknown) for the consumption posting indicator.
Account assignment category "U" is used as standard. This message is
invoked if the setting "U" for the account assignment category has been
changed in Customizing for inbound deliveries. SAP extension V54U0007
