SAP Note 940532 - Error message ME 083 during purchase order generation

Component : Freight Cost Settlement - Account Assignment

Summary :
When utilizing SAP transaction VI02 for shipment cost processing and transferring costs to FI/CO, users may encounter an issue where the system fails to identify a valid purchase order during item determination, leading to the automatic generation of a new purchase order based on item category settings. This results in an ME 083 error urging the user to specify a G/L account and blocking the cost transfer. The root cause is an altered setting for account assignment category 'U' in Customizing (Transaction OME9), changed from its default due to prerequisite Note 822621. To resolve, users should revert the configuration of the account assignment category 'U' to its original setup or adjust it using enhancement V54U0007 if the category is utilized differently. Additional manual steps include enhancing the 'VTFPOP' structure in SE11 and creating a new message in SE91 to support this custom setup.
