Message text: Alternative payer & defined in Financial Accounting



What causes this issue?

In table TVKO, the sales organization is assigned to a company code.
For this company code, the customer is assigned to a head office
('Account management' screen of company code data) which differs from
the payer specified. The billing documents from this sales organization
are therefore not posted to the head office, but to the payer defined
in the SD partner functions.


System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.



How to fix this error?

The payers in Sales and Distribution must agree with the head office
account defined in Financial Accounting.
