hi,

Check in configuration of the material type.

SPRO > LG > Material Master > Basic settings > Material types > define attributes

For the plant(Val area) , both qty and value updating indicators should be set on.

If value updation is unchecked, system would prompt to enter the account assignment category.

Actually issue is In ME21N screen Account Assignment Category field is grayed out. I check the the Field status which is very much fine and I am not sure is there any other couple of things I missed out.

Hi

You will be getting this error when you have not extended the material to any of the storage location. There can be other reasons such as the material being non valuated /non stock etc.

Thanks
