Message text: Different invoicing party & planned in purchase order &



What causes this issue?

You entered a goods invoice with delivery costs.
In purchase order &V2&, the invoicing party is &V1&. You are now
posting the invoice to &V3&. This can be for one of two reasons:
You entered &V2& in the field <LS>Purchase order</> and &V3& in the
field <LS>Invoicing party</>.
You entered a multiple allocation. The first item refers to a purchase
order with invoicing party &V3&. Another item refers to purchase order
&V2&. The system copies the invoicing party from the first item to all
items, in this case &V3&.
