ME062 Error During RFQ

hi Friends, Can you please advice as how to solve this error : [1] During purchase requisition ME51N, am getting an error of “” Account Assignment Mandatory for material ““xyz”” [ enter.acc.cat] message No. Me062. [2] During Creating RFQ - ME41-Create am getting an error “” Company Code not assigned to Country OR Country to Calculation Procedure “” please advice regards | Prashanth

Thanks friends, issue is resolved with your suggestions. regards | Prashanth

hi for scenario -1 solution is go to T.code: OMS2 - Select your material type

• go to “Quantity and value” update in Dialog structure - go to your valuation area(plant/Company code) - there you select the Quantity updating and Value updating boxes.

1] During purchase requisition ME51N, am getting an error of " Account Assignment Mandatory for material “xyz” [ enter.acc.cat] message No. Me062.

Ans Pl check following settings. In trans OMS2 check if qty and value update indicators are checked for the Val area and Mat type defined.

Yogendra Wagh

Hi dear when defining tax procedure go to the calculation- define tax code for sales and ourchase- put country or country code at this place to define country to tax prrocedure. It means that tax is defined to a country tax requirement.

BR// Rajneesh Srivastava

Please give the screen shot for the same.

Hi The second issue is related to tax procedure. Unless all the steps r done with errors are likely to arise. So u need to assign country to company code.

Check if the material type is non valuated

or in OMS2 your plant must have qty and value tick

check material type for for your material go to OMS2 and check is value and qty update is your material type and for ur plant

also check if Accounting view in material master is created

Regards, siseer

• If a material is procured for consumption, it requires an account assignment category (for example a cost centre, a project, a sales order etc.)

Your material XYZ is either procured for consumption or is not inventory-managed (say material type NLAG).

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
