    SAP Error Message: WP460 - Incomplete entry in account assignment object

    Message Text:
    Incomplete entry in account assignment object


    Cause

    This error occurs during the processing of a work order or maintenance order when the system detects that the account assignment object (such as cost center, internal order, WBS element, etc.) is not completely specified. In other words, the system expects certain mandatory fields related to account assignment to be filled, but they are missing or incomplete.

    Typical scenarios include:

    • Missing cost center or internal order in the order header or operation.
    • Incomplete or missing account assignment data in the order or during confirmation.
    • The account assignment object is not maintained or incorrectly maintained in the master data.
    • The system configuration requires certain account assignment objects for the order type or cost object category, but these are not provided.

    1. Check Account Assignment Data:

      • Verify that the account assignment object (cost center, internal order, WBS element, etc.) is correctly maintained in the order header or operation level.

    2. Maintain Missing Data:

      • Go to the order (transaction IW32 or IW33) and check the account assignment tab.
      • Enter or correct the missing account assignment object.
    3. Check Configuration:

      • Review the order type configuration to understand which account assignment objects are mandatory.
      • Check the cost object category and its settings in transaction OIOA or related customizing.
