How to fix this error?

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

changed in Customizing for inbound deliveries. SAP extension V54U0007
lets you set a different account assignment category for purchase order
generation.
