Network PO creation

Question

Dear All
I am creating PO with account assignment category N.But it says following error.
G/L account 700001 cannot be used (please correct)
Message no. ME045
Diagnosis
Comparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 700001 and the account assignment category N reveals that there is an incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection group 'Network'.
The G/L account field selection is stored in table T004F; that for the account assignment is stored in table T162K.
Procedure
Please enter a correct G/L account.
Kindly tell me how to recover from this error?

Hi,
There are two potential problems and the solution depends on the finance department.
Firstly you have to establish if the GL account 700001 is the correct one that should be used. Your finance department should be able to confirm this.
the settings on this account determine what data it requires and in your case the settings on this account are not allowing the storage of certain data. That is why I suggested checking to see if it is the right account first.
If it is not the right account then you will have to change the config of the auto accoutn determination to point this to a different GL.
If the finance department agree that this is the CORRECT GL account to use in this scenario then they will have to change the field settings on that GL.
When you get the error message you can click on it to get full detail (as I think you may have already done) but within the full detail will be a link to run the check to see which fields are the problem. You will see them in red. You then need to let your finance team know which fields are the porblem and get them to change the field settings on the GL to open the required fields.
