Summary :
When transferring items from a shipment cost document to FI/CO using transactions like 'Change shipment costs' (VI02), users encounter the ME 021 error message indicating that a one-time vendor is not defined. This issue arises due to the system's inability to automatically generate purchase orders for one-time account vendors. The workaround involves manually creating a purchase order item with a dummy address to avoid discrepancies. The system's design initially searches for a matching purchase order item but defaults to manual intervention if no automated generation is set up for the shipment cost item category.
Key words :
-time account purchase order item created previously, subsequently transferred shipment cost item, manually created purchase orders, shipment cost item category, suitable purchase order item, matching purchase order item, shipment cost settlement transactions, automatic purchase order generation, transfer shipment cost items, system ignores address information
