Activate order management in controlling area &1 in &2

Message text: Activate order management in controlling area &1 in &2



What causes this issue?

You assigned an order to an account although Order Management is not
active in controlling area &V1& in fiscal year &V2&.


System Response

Since Order Management is not active, neither a check nor a consistent
update of the data can be ensured in Controlling. The order you entered
can only be evaluated as an actual account assignment. It is then not
updated. A cost center possibly also included in the account assignment
is only debited statistically.

in the SAP system, you should better add customer-specific fields to the
coding block.
