Account determination for entry PRD not possible

Question

Hi All,
In exsiting PO line, we did two goods receipt, and we tried to invoice the vendor based on the goods receipt. The wearid thing is only one goods receipt got invoiced, the other gives error message saying: " account determination for entry PRD not possible ".
I checked with finance team, they said we intentionally didn't set up the account for price difference. And if one GR can be invoiced and goes to correct accout, the other one should be able to invoice as well, when I simulate the entry, the vendor account didn't get picked up, I think that's the key of this problem.
why the vendor account didn't get picked up by the system? please advise if you have any thoughts, I appreciated.

Nancy,
This is the restriction with materials managed in moving average price. I'm guessing that the user has performed goods issue between GR and IR on the second material. If you'd like to keep the current config setting, you will need to reverse the GI transaction, post the invoice, and repost the GI.
The above steps should resolve your current issue. However, this may not be the best approach as you will need to keep asking user to reverse their GIs every time the stock quantity is less than invoiced quantity. I would recommend that you talked to FI folks and convince them this is part of standard SAP process. It makes sense because we want to distribute the difference between invoice price and PO price to the existing stock quantity. Without this restriction, the moving average price can be skewed disproportionately.
